Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 25, 2019 Root Admin Posted June 25, 2019 From the Corp: CLASSIFICATION: UNCLASSIFIEDWe are looking at beginning spillway releases at Table Rock tomorrow. The purpose of the spill will be to supplement hydropower releases under normal flood control operations. We still have 1 unit down. We are not sure of the timing or amount, but it will likely be the 5,000 - 10,000 range sometime tomorrow morning. I will provide more information as I receive it tomorrow.

Trevor K Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 Sorry, this is probably a stupid question, but what does this mean for the lake level on taneycomo? I've never heard clear up to the dam. I always stop when I get to fall creek. Would the water be high enough to easily boat to the dam or would I still have to avoid obstacles and shallow water? Thanks for any advice!
netboy Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 They also are delaying the Norfork floodgate releases. Here is some more info... https://ozarkflyfisherjournal.wordpress.com/2019/06/24/minimum-flow-tomorrow/
Trevor K Posted June 25, 2019 Posted June 25, 2019 After reading the "how to boat to the dam" post, it looks like you can run up the middle of the lake at 705. So it shouldn't be a problem to run up to the dam even if they just continue to run 3 units, correct? Then if they open the gates it will be plenty deep pretty much everywhere? Do you guys have any recommendations for fishing that kind of water? Jetkbaits? Do you think there will be any shad? Thanks!

Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted June 25, 2019 Author Root Admin Posted June 25, 2019 From the Corps Please open gates 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 to one foot (1') each at 0700 in the morning. At 0800 please open the remaining gates (1, 2, 4, 6, and 10) to one foot (1') each. When the openings are complete we should have all 10 gates opened to one foot (1') each. The total spillway release will be 10,500 cfs. Combined with three hydropower units, the total release through the dam will be 20,000 cfs. Please let me know when the gate openings are complete in the morning.
