Thanks! That's what I was looking for.  Looks like I can go back to 2007 - so 15 years worth of data.  Be interesting to see if I can spot any trends.  

Does anyone know the date the lake flooded real bad - the one that got to Lilley's?

I'm sure @Phil Lilley remembers....

Actually several have gotten to our lower units but this one was the highest on record by a few inches.

@dpitt - Wondering if you might be able to help me with something I have long wanted to do. Would you happen to know if there are any public historic datasets available of elevation/release/generation?  I'm a programmer, and I have kept a fishing log of my trips to Taney, but until recently I never logged the lake level.  I would like to go back and look up the releases on the days I fished to see if there is any correlation between water flow and what flies the fish seemed to prefer.  Are you aware of any sources for this data?  I poked around on the USACE site but was never able to find it.  

@JimDog, 

    Sorry for the late response,  Interesting idea.... I could not find historic data of USACE, but you can get many years worth of CFS and levels for sites that have USGS sites..  I've dumped a text file for many, many, many  years of data.   Taney has a USGS probe for temp,  level, and  DO,  not for CFS, there are multiple probes for CFS and level on the White and most of the streams rivers in the country.   

I've been exploring Machine Learning using the H2O.ai  machine learning framework  and would like to create a model that will predict generation for a body of water.  There's enough data available to train the model to predict generation flow.  With 50 years of daily generation history, I'm confident using a neural net with a linear regression type algorithm can predict generation fairly accurately.    You could do the same thing for fly selection, but you would have to just introduce fly selection.  Check the framework out it has programming API's for Java, Python, and R. 

Thanks,

David
