Wow!! We have had plenty this year, but you guys are getting pounded. I was recently at Toledo Bend and the closest town, Many,La. had gotten 10 inches in 8 hrs and water was running over the highway. I talked to some locals and that was a first. Good luck to you guys and release it slow please, or if fast, at least fast enough for a few fish to come our way!
Tulsa area got plowed today. Somehow I was up there in it while it had quit in the city.
We got 3.5" ne of Tulsa today. Good news is the rain is gone for awhile. Bad news, there is 228 billion extra gallons of water on Oologah alone, to be released and get back to normal. Bet it's August before things are normal.
It depends on where you are trying to get to on Texoma. Haven't heard of Roosevelt Bridge closing but, suspect it is. Lake rose above the spillway again last night and won't crest till next week sometime. Inflow is over 200,000cfs and outflow is only about 50,000cfs as of last night. Of course that means it's going to be rising for awhile now. Wa****a is at record high and all that has to come into Texoma. Heard yesterday that if we get no more rain it will be mid Aug before Texoma gets near normal pool again.
As you probably know, I-35 is closed and I have no idea when it will reopen. You may have seen the rock slide on TV? I hear Lake Jean Neustat is also flooded across the interstate too. There is even talk of closing the I-35 Red River bridge due to debris collecting around the piers. I would be very surprised if that were to happen.
Just been fishing below the dam Bob. . . . Lake fishing is just too tough to get access right now
I watched some of the guys below the dam back before the lake went over the spillway and they were only releasing about 10,000cfs. They had to use surf rods and still hold on for dear life! Not my kind of fun and think it would be hard to target crappie!
I have been on it fishing from the boat. . . You think riding a bull is a rush you should try fishing in 60000 cfs of water heading at you. . . Lol. . . I have put crappie fishing on hold. . .it's all about striper and catfish now.
