Current lake reports?

[Guest]

Can somebody give us the current lake condition?

where's the mudline & what's the water temp?

 I went out yesterday for about five hours. Worked  from the back of Monte Ne,all the way around Horshoe Bend to Blackburn,found lots of bait but very few fish.  The Mudline was at the mouth of Monte Ne yesterday so I'm sure it's well past that now. It was extremely tough! Next week should be awesome with higher temps and clearing water.

Water temp was 53-54 today.

Would somebody like to explain why the COE is holding water at Beaver, when the lakes downstream aren't 50% into flood pool? It doesnt make any sense for them to hold water, especially during a strong El Nino.

You're trying to make sense of the Corps? Just how much eggnog HAVE you drank?

Probably holding it for generation sales during periods of peak electricity demand during cold spells.  Usually  we don't get much precip late Dec to early March.

Precisely, but this is an El Nino winter not a standard winter. Maybe they know something we don't. Or they're gambling.

I'd be good with them holding it until next March and then get the lake back up in the 667 range. Another awesome spawn. They have been running max water down the White for a week or more out of Bull Shoals Dam. Honestly, I was hoping that would stop one of these days

Maybe they want BSL to empty out first, then they start moving beavers water down the chain.
