clinton.... water.

Had to haul some brush out to our property south of Topeka today. Decided to go check the pond after all this rain, and low and behold, it's full! How does this relate to Clinton? It basically drains right into the Wakie and water was runnin through the tube. It's been over 4yrs. Since it was full, looked at some of the other ponds in the area and they are also running. With this weekends rain maybe Clinton will finally start growing again! Just in time for the yoy crappie to go hide in the overgrowth!

Don't know but some of you guys may use this site already. Just mouse on the State to the left and pick the lake then select daily info. Just watch the date it was updated.

I use the Corp as well for the water levels. The page I use lists most of the lakes in Kansas and many in Missouri. It shows a weeks worth of inflow and outflow data as well as the lake level for each day. It is interesting to watch the fluctuations after a good rain.

http://ks.water.usgs.gov/lakes-and-reservoirs is a good place also.

All great sites, I just wanted to let ya all know that the pond in the drainage are finally full and dumping water in Clinton instead storing it. Maybe soon all our old spots will have fish on them, but the low water was good for makin us hunt up new spots and actually do the FISING thing instead o just the CATCHING!

Much water as the MO is carrying now. And as much water there is entering the system south of us. I'm thinking the corp Is going to start holding water.

Just over 7in in the rain guage as of 5min ago, Clinton should be at pool in the next couple days, settin up the awesome predictable summer patterns once again.:fish
