yes Guru i agree with you 100%..water level right now is just inches below normal pool,and just got back from the dam all gates are open.hope they leave it up at least 6inches below normal pool.they can open more gates sooner or close them due to grassy lake road problem solved.water out for duck hunters was another issue before this rain.heard that the pipe going to bell slough damaged and only allowing half capacity to enter.seems that should be repaired and maybe have another pipe or trench to direct that water.choke points downstream from dam still an issue.LCHOA has a recent article stating maybe closer to yearly level at normal pool.lake management was revised in2009 should be time for another revision. thats my 2cents worth Lake Conway Home Owners Association Gold Creek Landing on Lake Conway Arkansas
