Grenada Lake rising

This is as high as I've seen the lake at this time of year in many years.

The question I have is if we get one inch of rain how much does the lake rise? I've heard, over the years, one inch is usually about a foot of rise.

Rees and Mr GT probably got this one down pat.

Looks like it may be helpful info for the .com folks coming in this week.

Welcome to Grenada to all the CDC members. Welcome to all the other out of town fishermen that are coming down.


Going to be a challenge with all the fresh water.

They're predicting about 3 more inches of rain from now through mid MOrning Saturdya. 40% chance Saturdya morning

Its gona be tough for sure! The high water will definantly make for a exciting spawn should give em alot of cover! This year will probly be a good year for wading!

208 is not particularly high. Fished it a couple years ago at 212 and change this same time of year.

I hope so cause the 2 times I went last year, the wind was blowing so hard I couldn't fish. Jonesing for a thump right now

Looks like we're a little over 9 feet above the curve unless I'm reading it wrong.

Hard to guess how many inches if rain adds a foot to the lake. It all depends on how much falls above the lake on the two separate rivers. I've seen an inch in town add 1/10 to the lake. And at the same time I've seen 1/2" in town add 5' to the lake.

Wannabe...

Best just break out the bottle and stay on the bank...

Where we are now 1 inch will most likely put 1.5 feet in the lake, we are SOAKED and its all run off. Lot of it depends on how it falls, slow rain under normal conditions will mostly soak in but not rite now. If we get what they are predicting I figure we will be at 212.5 to 213 by Friday week, just a guess but a pretty fair one I think.
One thing about it, the lake water does not look bad right now for Nader and a BIG rain wont muddy up a lot of good fishable water, up the rivers yes but there is a lot of water that wont get messed up too bad. Wind has been pretty good lately too and that helps with the muddying as well.
I love fishing when it is at 212 to 215, heck I got me a new set of hip boots, be out of the boat more than in it and its been a while since we have gotten to fish like that!!!!!!

Rees, can you put in at Bryant landing yet? I was thinking Torrence should bout be under water now or close to it.

No problem at Bryant its good to go at 207.5 for some rigs and at 208 all rigs. Torrence is barely out of the water at 207 and you better have a 4 wheel drive then, so at almost 209 that knowl is just under the water and could be dangerous.

Long as it ain't that polish corn liquor you pawned off on me last spring,,,,I'm in!!

Latest prediction for total rainfall through Friday night is 1.6 inches. Couple tenths today and 0.7 tenth Thursday and friday each

Saw that, when I posted last night they were saying more than 3 inches so my GUESS will be off a little bit. Monday night, I think, we had 3/4 inch during the night, when we went ot town yesterday morning Turkey Creek was out of its banks when we went to town, ground is ROTTEN!!!

now they are saying 4 inches of rain 90% Thursday and Friday

Yep she's a risin!

Thats a good thing, way better than falling. Plenty of water to fish now and it is warming up some too, be 70 degrees the rest of the week, gonna rain some but with the lake as high as it is it will have less effect on muddying the main lake, a good thing in my book!!

Will they keep letting it rise??? At what level will they let water out????
