Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 8, 2016 Root Admin Posted June 8, 2016 Just got this from MDC as a "heads up". There will be a stilling basin inspection at Table Rock on Tuesday. In order to flush out the accumulated sediment in the basin so the divers can see the structure, the spillway will be opened for about 30 minutes on Monday afternoon between 3 and 5pm. We will have high power releases concurrent with the spillway releases to help prevent water temperature problems. huntest 1

JestersHK Posted June 8, 2016 Posted June 8, 2016 Sounds like white will be a hot color next week! Some of the best fishing I've had down there was after they closed the gates. Looking forward to next week, Friday cannot get here fast enough.
ruthead Posted June 9, 2016 Posted June 9, 2016 So did this shake things up? Thinking about making the 4 hour one way drive todo some wade fishin this weekend. Wondering if it might be better to hold off for another weekend. "Pretty soon we may not have any rights left because it might infringe on someone's rights"
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 9, 2016 Author Root Admin Posted June 9, 2016 This event will have nothing to do with this weekend's schedule. In saying that, I'd be surprised if we see any down water - no generation. It'll probably be 1/2 unit most of the time which is wadeable, but not ideal. Weekend schedule will be out later this afternoon.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 9, 2016 Author Root Admin Posted June 9, 2016 Look at Angler's Outfitters (Chuck Gries) on facebook. He posted wading the last few days and doing very well. https://www.facebook.com/Anglers-Outfitters-369647935417/ bkbying89 1
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 9, 2016 Author Root Admin Posted June 9, 2016 Just wanted to provide you a heads up that we have been approved for a special operation (Spillway Release) from Table Rock Dam on Monday afternoon. The total release (Generation and Spillway) could exceed 15,000 cfs depending on what the power needs are Monday afternoon. The gates will be open for approximately 2 hours (3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.) on Monday June 13th. This operation is being conducted to "Wash Out" our stilling basin so we conduct an inspection of the stilling basin. This is normal procedures and operations but know you might get several questions from the public. If you know somebody who would like to see the dam with the gates open, they will have about a two hour window to do so Monday afternoon.
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 9, 2016 Author Root Admin Posted June 9, 2016 At least 15k. Two hours of gates.
