Update

[MOPanfisher]

As of today 18 June,

Current elevation is right at 850.5. (pretty close to 25% of flood storage capacity)

Current outflow is 2000 CFS

Impacts: As of now the only courtesy dock that is useable (without wading) as the one at the Hermitage side of the State Park. All the rest are in the water to some degree or another. In addition the fishing docks at Bolivar Landing, and by the Project Office are inaccessible.

Both Swimbeaches (Nemo & Wheatland) are underwater.

But luckily only a few campsites have been impacted, 2 electric sites and a couple of non-electric sites.

The rapid rise has finally leveled out as the main tribs finally dropped back on flow. We should hold pretty close to the 850.5 and then beging to drop.

NOTE: all the above is based on no additional rainfall, and holding current outflow of 2000CFS. However Tropical Storm Bill may have other plans. If we get heavy rains in the watershed obviously it will rais the lake even more, if it falls far enough north we might end up reducing outflow, if it doesn't we might get to increase outflow. Only time will tell.

3 day forecast shows lake jumping to 854 by Sunday. Hickory county rainfall totals look to be 1 to 3 inches with heaviest accumalation in the western part of the county. Only my second summer on the lake. Makes me nervous as a dock owner. On the other hand, lots of places to hide for this years spawn.

We live on the Pomme just inside the Greene County line( about a mile from Webster County) . The water is moving up into our bottom fields and the road, here at the house. So you will be getting more water. Hope your other creeks are starting to fall. As far up the head waters as we are it usually doesn't stay up long here.

That forceast is outdated, but I doubt we will make 854.0. Our rainfall totals in the last 24 hours were minimal but what fell to the North East or Springfield is still rolling in. Pomme River is rising and Lindly creek is rising to a lesser degree. Yes there will be a lot of cover for newly hatched everything. 3-4 years from now out to be some good fishing. Gumboot depending on where your dock is the highwaters can be either an annoyance, or if it gets pounded by drift, catastrophic.

Is there a link online for the lake level forecast?

http://www.nwk.usace.army.mil/Locations/WaterManagement.aspx. if I was smarter than my phone there should be a link to the Kansas City district water management, select 3 day reservoir forecast.

Outflow increased to 2800 CFS today, lake is starting down.

Sapps Landing was out of its banks is it backing up from Truman Lake?

Oneshot, yes that is lake water from Truman, for some reason I am thinking that at about 712, it gets into the Sapps Landing Parking Lot.
