22.2 feet above summer pool. Louisville TV stations say Ohio River is flooding. GRL is 2' from the basketball rim in Marina parking lot. Not the pole, the rim. It went up 2+ feet today. :yikes
Maybe March 20, not sure what year.

Yeah ... the dam is only spilling at a little over 500cfs and has been for the last few days. The "incoming" rate is around 15,000cfs :Doh:
But, after almost 7" of rain in the Green River Lake drainage area this month, plus the downstream flooding .... it's gonna be this way for awhile.
But, as you can see on this chart .... check the March inflow/outflow .... if they can maintain a spill rate of 7000cfs for a couple of weeks, they can get it back down to Winter Pool (barring any periods of heavy rains during that time)

Weather guessers are saying we're in for a warmer than normal Spring this year, so that will help put them in a spawning mode ... but, could signal more chances of rain. :dono We just need March to be on the dry side !!
The problem right now if you could launch is the debris. Tear a boat up in a heartbeat.
Even bigger threat might be the spawn.
Biggest threat to the spawn would be for the water to be high when they start spawning & then they drop the lake fast. That'd leave a lot of nests/eggs high & dry. We have to remember that the COE's 1st priority is to prevent flooding downstream, even if that floods all the property around the lake (campgrounds, ramps, etc.).Quote:
