Members mAngler Posted February 5, 2007 Members Posted February 5, 2007 I'm sure this has been posted before, but what's the approximate conversion from CFS to number of generators running? I can visualize what the river looks like based on the number of generators running, but flow rate listed on the corp generation site is Chinese to me... mAngler
duckydoty Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 Michael put this up a while ago so I copied it for you duckydoty When they have have no generation the the level is 701.3 and it should read between 20 and 150 cfs because there seems to always be water coming through the dam. For every 3000 cfs there is one unit on up to the max of 12000 cfs which is four units. I kinda of think of it like this for every unit that they run it is about 3 feet so when they have 12000 cfs on you are looking at a depth of about 11 feet high and they reason that I say 11 feet high you take the elvation with no units on minus the max elevation and you get around 11 feet.(701.3-712.00) With all four on depending on the flow rate you are looking at the 2 step to the bottom of the stairs at outlet two. With three could be from the bottom of the stairs to where the rock is and the island showing. with two on two feet from the rock to about three feet from the water edges and a lot of the island showing nothing at rebar is showing. Then with one on is probally 7-10 feet from the stairs and and a lot of the island showing and some of the gravel showing down at the rebar. With one unit on you can pretty much wade anywhere you want as long that you are cognitive about the flow I would stick pretty close to the bank. I do like to fish the rebar and the point with one unit on. I hope that this is helpfull Michael A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Members BuschTrout22 Posted February 5, 2007 Members Posted February 5, 2007 speaking of generation anyone know the generation report? I usually get this from Jeremy Hunt's website www.taneycomotrout.com, however the site is being updated/under construction and Im not sure of the generation Hopefully only running one unit?

duckydoty Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 They were running 4 while I was fishing last night. Every now and then they have been shutting it down to 2 Duckydoty A Little Rain Won't Hurt Them Fish.....They're Already Wet!! Visit my website at.. Ozark Trout Runners
Terry Beeson Posted February 5, 2007 Posted February 5, 2007 If you are looking for a "schedule" of future generation, not even the guys at the dam know that one... The dam schedules are not that reliable. Best to call the dam number and find out what is running at that time... but then again, THAT dam report is not always correct... Best to go look for yourself...

Members mAngler Posted February 5, 2007 Author Members Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks duckydoty, that's exactly what I was looking for. BuschTrout, Looks like they are currently running 4 generators, and with the lake close to the top of the power pool, and the weather being cold - I'm going to assume they will be running full tilt for awhile... Which sucks because I have a trip to tanney planned in the next ten days. mAngler
Members BuschTrout22 Posted February 5, 2007 Members Posted February 5, 2007 Yes that does quite suck.. Ahh but what can you do..
