Thread: Rain

I think we have had enough rain now! I'm sure Beaver Lake is going to be at flood stage soon. Fishing has been tough as it is without more rain to muddy the lake up even more! We need to send this rain to the southern part of the state where y'all need it! I'll be on the water tomorrow afternoon and I'll get to see first hand how the fishing is after this Biblical rain event!!

Rain, rain, go away come again another day

Hasn't rained a drop yet in God's country

I think we are around 4".

Hey Jason:

I feel for you guys up there. I've been watching this system and last night it looked like we were in for a lot of rain but so far it has tracked just north of us. Greeson is already above full pool and like Beaver the fishing has been pretty tough lately already and a flood right now would really mess it up. We're not out of the woods yet as the south end of the system is still heading our way but we've lucky so far. I hope it either fizzles out or picks up speed and moves through here quickly.

We decided not to fish today and one of the trips won't be able to reschedule so this thing has already gotten into my wallet.

I've lost three trips! I still have trips tomorrow through Saturday, I hope it's not to bad!

Flood stage on White River at Batesville is 15'. The river is forecasted to crest Thursday at 26.4'. I might should have built an ark instead of a camper.

I came up to Springfield, MO today and I like to have never got here. There were roads closed on the way up through Harrison and the rain was unreal! The Buffalo River was really roaring, let alone all the other creeks that now appear to look like mini Arkansas Rivers. It took me almost 6 hours to get here from Little Rock. I may have to take a boat to get back home....

Well....It looked like it rained like crazy out in Oklahoma also. I am sure that the Arkansas river will be on the rise again soon, and I am sure the white will be outrageously high before long.

You are right!! I just got an email from the liner service that brings us barges. They haven't got things ligned out from last week's rain and now they are officially shut down again. Dardnell pool is running at 308000 CFS. Small craft advisories go out at 60000. Don't even think about putting in on the river for a few weeks.
