Maybe the black river will get a bunch of rain early next week.

4 inches of rain here last weekend headed down that way now

Looks like SWPA did what they said they were going to do...dump Bull Shoals starting on the 28th.

Prediction for tomorrow.😢

Guess I'll head to the Spring river manana.

Well Bob, Its good to have options. Growing up when the Mississippi River was up most of our fishing was shut down. 

Nowadays, we have so much information at our fingertips and social networks to lean on to learn about other fishing opportunities. There were other places and other fish we could have pursued, but we just didn’t know where, when, and how. 

I hope the Spring River treats you right.

Watch your step if you wade, slickest rocks I have ever encountered and too chilly to get wet.   CM

The spring river is likely to be dirty, we have had quite a bit of rain.

Says 1750 cfs coming over and no generation???   Is the generation site broken?   
Looks like a lot more on the Genes cam.

Looks like more flood gates opened at 9:00 this morning but not mentioned on the site.

I just called the dam line and it says Norfork is shut down.  Man, they have been doing this stuff for years.  5 foot rise of water and no mention of it.

The generators are shut down (may be for maintenance) and they are running water thru the siphon and 3 flood gates @ 1 foot for about 1700cfs plus the siphon.

BTW Spring river was pretty good today. Water was a bit off color but lots of trout. The old Spring river pink miracle fly worked great.
