Looks like Beaver Lake getting hit fairly hard. The Laclede co. area and LOZ region seems to be getting the brunt of it in Missouri. Will be interesting to read the gauges.

We might even get a little snow Saturday night/Sunday AM.

So how much rain has Tablerock received? What is the predicted rise of the lake? Coming down this next weekend. Will be fishing mainly the James Arm. All reports will definitely be appreciated. 

I am sure glad I put it off for this weekend. And the folks at the resort where I am staying was good enough to move my dates from this weekend to the next.

Right now, if I am reading the charts correctly, they are running 14K CFS over the dam.  The Kings has crested and is dropping fast, but it is still running 20KCFS into the lake.  The James is still coming up a bit and is running at 14K CFS.  Lake is up 4 feet and is still rising.  

I can't find anything that states how long they'll leave the flood gates open.  Probably depends on how high they'll let Bull get and how much water they can run out of Bull.

However, I think you'll be fine next week, I'm assuming you can dock your boat at the resort so you won't have to deal with flooded ramps.  Weather looks to be nice all week, sunny and warm, would not surprise me if a lot of fish are up on the bank, fishing could be really good.  You will have to look out for floating wood out on the lake, but other than that, things may work out well for your trip.

Thank you and please keep me updated. I hope that Aunts Creek Park Ramp is open because the resort I am at, their ramp sucks. I would hate to loose my money for my cabin and have to go somewhere else.

Is there a lot of logs floating around in the James arm as of now?

Is the James muddy are is it clearing? 

Coming down Thursday for some R & R, along with some fishing. Need a report please. Thanks
