I was just looking at Nada water levels and that baby is coming down fast. How soon before most ramps won't be useable and how long does the COE think it will take for repair?Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service: Jackson: Yalobusha River at Grenada Dam
Getting close to 4 inches a day
At what level will they shut it down for repair?
What is your best guess for the classic ?
193, they trying to get it to winter pool. At 193 there is not a usable ramp on the lake
Great! ThanksQuote:

Its off by at least 2 feet on pretty much all the low level ramps.
Last time it was 193, I could launch at Grenada landing in my 18' aluminum boat, motor up and churning mud...just barely.
Yeah me too, last time I launched at 193 I was really concerned about getting back in at the end of the day.
Yep...was like a ping pong ball bouncing from one side of the channel to the other. Heck, the channel was only a couple feet deep.
So the answer is YES there is a useable ramp at 193 but you better proceed with caution.
Maybe....couple years of silt could be a game changer.
This is true and it has silted in some in the last couple of years. Like everyone else said 193 is tight gettin thru there.Quote:

Guess we may need some hip boots to launch/take out and a 4x4? Going to be interesting getting 100+ boats in and out of that little area if the water is going to be that low. Anyone got a push pole I can borrow?
Nope, but I got a Go Devil!Quote:

Well Monday moning has come and gone and they didnt back off any, still letting out 3900 CFS, lakes down .31 in the last 24 hours.
If the level is 198 or lower, you can launch at Grenada Landing but won't be able to get out the chan unless your in a jon boat, and then you will run aground trying to get out to the lake. I suppose they will cancel or move the CM tournament. Won't have any choice but to.
We went in and out pretty easy at 195 last winter, Crappie Masters is Sept 27th and 28th, lake wont be below 200 I dont imagine.
I'm no hydrologist, but I put a straight edge on the rule curve graph and came up with 204' for MCC and 202' for Crappie Maaters.
When MCC last fished it on 03/23/2013 it was at 204.20', so it should look familiar to many.
Pretty much dead on ATM
I bet it won't come down as fast as you think, ATM. A straight edge assumes that it will continue to fall at the same rate that it is falling at right now for the entire time. Been a week or two since Grenada got any appreciable rain, and I expect several good rains between now and November will put some "bumps" in your straight line. Still, they are gonna get it down faster than usual.
