August 2015 Update

[MOPanfisher]

I haven't updated much lately its mostly been just sending the water downstream. We are closing in on our target elevation of 839.0 and will likely begin to drop back next week, partly to slow the drop, and partly to allow the MDC to complete a survey of fish populations on the river down stream, the paramaters are they need 2000 CFS for 3 days, so we have the water, doesn't appear to be any hurricanes on the horizon, so probably monday or so the outflow will drop to 2000 CFS. Stepping it down some with a project "normal" around the 15th of the month with cut back to minimum outflow of 50 CFS at that point. Lots of shad in the lake, fish should be fat, happy and bored, go liven them up a little.

Thanks for the update! What is the projected lake level, with no additional water, on Aug 15th? Just doing some math in my head, if flow is cut to 50 it is going to take a long time to get to normal.

Thanks,

Brad

Thats what I get for not reading closely enough. This time I will just cut/paste it to keep my dumb fingers from typing wrong info again. Sorry I should have done that to begin with.

Well give it a couple days to dry the bank out where I fish. Catch a few, life will be good!

There was the remains of 12 channel cat someone had cleaned and tossed by the fishing docks thursday. Biggest might have been 3 pounds, smallest half that. Delicious eating size, would have been happy for someone if they hadn't left the carcasses right there on the bank.

Dang I fish there all the time, don't fish off the Docks anymore because I get hung up all the time so I go across the cove.
