Here's you a link to keep watch on the lake level -- http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/office...ouachriver.htm -- Narrows Dam is Lake Greeson. And here's one you can plot the annual hydographics - http://www.mvk.usace.army.mil/office...dh/graphs1.htm -- Not much data right now because the year just started.

Actually, it has been my experience that 542 is about average for the lake. You have to remember that Greeson's primary purpose is flood control followed by hydoelectric generation. 548msl is full generating pool. I've seen it as low as the 530's by the end of long, hot summer and last January we got a huge rain and it crested at 556. They hold the lake a little low to catch all the spring rains. The last few years they have done a great job holding the lake 542 or better for the spawn.

thanks for info. i look forward to fishing the lake again, hey darryl thanks for the tips at the dock there saturday
