Lake levels

I just checked Bull Shoals lake level and it stands at 689.6 ft & that is 82% of F.C. and is due to crest April 15 at 694.9 feet and they will be at 100% of F.C.. That is 41.9 feet over pool stage, Pool stage is 654.0 feet.

Pontiac Cove Boat dock did a little research and found that Bull Shoals has only reached maximum capacity (695) one time, and that was June 1957. In June 1990 it was 691.5 and 688.8 in June 2002.

Campgrounds at Theodosia and Oakland are all under water, from what I've heard. Some marinas on Bull Shoals and Table Rock are already having to ferry customers to and from their boats.

Norfork is at 580.38 (and will crest April 11 at 581.0 104% F.C.)
Table Rock is at 926.92 (and will crest April 13 at 933.0 thats 114% of F.C.
Beaver is at 1129.81 (and will crest April 11 at 1131.1 that is 112% of F.C.

I feel sorry for them towns and people living down stream on the White River when they start letting water out of them big dams.

COE has all 12 flood gates open on the Norfork and have started to evacuate some folks downstream. They say Bull still has about 6 feet of room, but when Tablerock and Beaver start to let their water go, Bull Shoals will have to do something with it. Anyhow, high water is good for crappie fishermen next year. All the fry from this year will be able to swim in the tree tops and have a better survival rate. So even in the bad, there is some good. Tight lines.
