Common sense tells me the gates were open during this time when the lake was 9 to 12 ft below summer pool. The lack of rain had a lot to do with the low lake level but it was not the only factor. I have heard people say a log was jammed in the gate and they had to pull the lake down to fix the problem. I have also heard they were working on the dam and needed the water level low. I am not sure that either one of these stories is true but they make a lot more sense than it didn't rain because the lake continued to drop while the river continued to flow without any rain.

Oh yea, there is no way I'm right so just forget everything I just said. ATM is right. It was his year at the lake...day after day...

Bahahahaha!! Rocket scientist

Every time the cut off heats up I will post exact cords and detailed report for those who are not rocket scientist. Hopefully Charlie will let me park for free after I bring in the crowds. Love this site

It must have evaporated over the levee into the cold water river huh? I figured all the peeps from Ar had heard of a flood control lake. When the water is flowing beneath the dam its because someone controlled it to do that or it rained. And, I think someone said earlier it never rained.

Get after it dogg. Hope u catch em all. But it got cleaned out like butla last april may when the river stayed at 0 for 2 months. Bahahahaha

Let youall know in about 2 weeks going in for a nerve block next week on lower back,knees are doing better.Was gonna try midway last week but the river shot back up.

You're such a smart hydrologist; how come none of the Big Four reached summer pool last year? Quadruple log jams? Gewber.

It was definitely lack of rain,but also a problem with the gates.After they filled it with saw dust the lake started rising.It still would have never made it to summer pool.I go to church with the gate keeper and that's the truth.
