Page shows the gates still open on Sardis, Enid, and Grenada,. I would have thought they would close em by now what with all of the water that is downstream. I'm hoping Grenada has 211 by the first week of April. Water hopefully will be settled if we don't get another huge rain and spawn should be good.
COE has not been doing a very good job of reporting lake levels and spillway flows recently. I called Vicksburg last week and was told that the person who posts the reports was "out with a sick relative". Based on the amount of rainfall, all spillways should be shut off before the day ends.
Gates are closed at the top 3. Still open at Grenada. Haven't received as much rain there.....yet.
If 'butla keeps rising like it is now, it's gonna be over the spillway soon....and still raining hard east of here with more coming down the Coldwater River!
Not shut down at Nader yet but they have only had 1.35 inches of rain in the last 24 hours, sure they will shut it off pretty quick. On a slight rise now and will pick up pretty quick, we have only had 2.25 inches of rain at the house here above Turkey Creek since Tuesday night.
I don't have a gage but from the radar it looks like we got about 1.75 inches at Graysport so far. After this is over, I hope they don't pull the bottom out of it in order to get back to rule curve.
It's looking more and more like nader is about to get a good rise.
You can bet the Delta aint wanting the COE to send them any water any time soon, hope they will hold every drop!!!Quote:

Man, I hate to hear how bad it is for some of our other southern brethren.. there down there evacuating due to the floods and saw 3 have died so far .. my prayers go out to them!
Haven't seen the news yet, how bad and where?
Louisiana got the worst of it looks like, down there in the swamps. I saw a report of 20 inches in some places and just read it's up to 5 fatalities now. I don't do cable TV or nothing so don't watch the news. Just go by what I read on the weather and news sites..

Daggum, that is high.. I couldn't see the pier at elbow creek. Was there by chance two old boys fishing there? I swear they been glued to it for the last month... lol.
Can barely make out the pier in the picture.
I remember when the water was high it was a few inches on the old bridge across Elbow creek. Wood had drifted against the bridge on the upstream side. We fished minnows 2 to 6" deep around the drift and did well.
Wayne, can't remember his handle here has posted pictures on his facebook page.
