Water Level

[shockley32]

Pomme is 20' high and no doubt is going up.  We have had a little over 2" this morning and by looking at the radar we are a ways from being finished.  With that in mind, what is the record for the highest lake level?  When did it happen?  Are there predictions for the next few days?

Thanks,

Brad

I noticed they shut down the outflow this morning. That doesn't bode well for the short term. Hopefully MOPanfisher has an update soon.

Record pool is 864.58 I believe in 1993.  Right now no idea other than it will rise some more.  Won't even have a guess until it quits raining.  Inflows are picking up, outflow is down to minimum, yep she is gonna rise.

Surprised the river still running as high as it is.  Best guess as to crest?  Any plans to start dumping water?  Always appreciate your input.

Inflows are dropping, not as fast as we would like, but still dropping.  Lake level a few minute ago was 863.25, we are in the process of increading outflow back up to 3500 CFS, should flatten out and catch the rise late today or early tomorrow.  14 day weather forecast is looking good, but will take a while to get back to "normal".  I don't think we will make it to 864.

How is the water clarity I'm planning on coming down next weekend. I've seen the lake really high and still clear water in the past.  Thanks for any info

Lower end is pretty clear right now.  And there is a lot more of it.

Last weekend in the heavy rains you could see the bottom in 10-12 foot on a rainy cloudy day, never seen it that clear.

The best day I ever had on Pomme was when the water was 7ft. high.  The fish were relating heavily to the little ledges of the original shoreline.  We were just running down the banks tossing Hula grubs and weightless Sluggo's, and flat wore 'em out.

Water was pretty stained as of 2 hours ago.
