I'm new to crappie fishing the river so take my advice with a grain of salt lol. But I've bass fished the ozark pool my whole life. Usually I will try to watch Jeta Taylor as well. If they are pushing or pulling more water than Trimble that's when the water will be really screwed up and it will be sucking the water out of the backwaters. Also as long as they keep it a steady flow the fish will get on somewhat a pattern but you'll have to be in some cuts that don't get bothered by current. I live about 10 min from the clear creek ramp and I'm headed out tonight, the weather is too nice to let the water level bother me unless it's over 70k which is when they issue a small craft advisory. Any reference points you would like pictures of to see the level?
