Kentucky at 356.5 predicted to go to 357.5 by Sunday and they are throttling back both dams a little. Barkley went from 80,000cfm this morning down to 66,000cfm now, and Kentucky is going from 95,000cfm today to 82,000cfm tomorrow.

You got alot of water heading your way from the mighty Ohio. We are supposed to be at flood level 52ft by Saturday morning and who know how much higher it will get with all this rain coming! i hope it get the 365 by the time we get there in mid April.
Yep, it''s gonna get high again this year. 2 days ago Barkley was at 121,000! I am above Clarksville, Tn. & can't get under the RR bridge due to high water. They want to run it out but Cairo is over 40' so they are hold'n water. Big flooding coming on the Oh, Upper & lower Miss. She's gonna get nasty! Real nasty!Quote:

Kentucky is down to below 82,000cfs already and Barkley is at 60,000cfs. The White and Wabash are going to be carrying a bunch to the Ohio too.
There goes another crappppppie crappie spring...
I think I'll just work some overtime instead......things a-brewin in my little pea brain....:)

We were heading down two weeks from today. Are we screwed or is there hope that we may still get into some fish? We are heading to your neck of the woods, shawnee bay, moors area.
Yea I'm supposed to come down on the 23rd thru 27th and was wondering the same thing.Quote:

Also look at the predicted data and watch for inflow to drop below outflow. They've just put the stopper in to hold the water back, but if the crest on the Ohio gets past, they may open it back up. The Ohio and Mississippi are both getting rain tonight.

If they're 2' deep in 5' of water they may move scatter & move out 2/5' deep oner 10/12' of water. You'll just have to look for'um. Try fish'n brush high, good time to long line & spider rig. Watch the gulls! They tell ya where the bait fish are. Thats a good place to start lookn.
Between all us on here we'll figure them out. Thumbs Up I think sixfin & buffalo can smell'um. We'll just tie a rope to their boat! :D
I hope we arn't flooded the 1st week of April.
Well,,here in Indiana,,they are forcasting above normal precipitation for the next 30 days, and all of our lakes are normal if not way above normal as they are holding, and if I look at the forcasts,,our rivers are to peak next Thurs,,however,,more rain coming in next Wed nite again,,this La Nina is kicking some butt this year so its going to be a wetter than normal spring if not one of the wettest in a long time.
They opened Barkley a little this afternoon. Rainfall somewhere must have been less than expected. We are all but flooded here around the White River, but it seems like the rain is over for a spell.
They've pulled the plug a little. Kentucky is spilling about 125,000cfs and Barkley about 76,000cfs.
A levee broke up here, so some of our rain is filling up a cornfield instead of heading for the Ohio.
Looks like they are trying to hold below 358 for another couple of days. Kentucky is spilling better than 155,000cfs now but they are planning to let it go up toward 359 Wednesday.
