New Taneycomo flow report, 1/20/16

[Phil Lilley]

Just got word that the Corps dropped our flow from 20,000 to 15,000 cvs today.  We're getting an average of 10,500 through the turbines and about 4,500 through the flood gates.  This flow will continue till Table Rock reaches 915 feet which might take another week to achieve.  

Previously, the Corps thought they'd just run 4 units to get Table Rock Lake down to 915 feet but they must be thinking they should run through as much water as possible now before more rain falls.  They still have to get Beaver Lake down too.  Once TR gets to 915, my guess is that they start to drop Beaver.

Side note:  As I was walking the dock after One Cast, I saw several shad floating by.  Fish were hitting the surface all out in front of the dock while I was filming - and that's why.

Our trout will continue to see and eat shad till the gates are closed.  Not sure if that's a bad thing...
