SWPA website shows generation schedule running water from 6am till midnight. With the recent rain they did not run water as of 11am today. the weir was tough today but we caught a few. I would guess this will take the current off the flats if you plan to dip timber. I also expect the lake to be on the rise as the ramps at Shawnee Bend were right at the water level. Be safe this weekend and have fun.

So about that report..... Stopped and talked to a guy before crossing the dam. Running water now so who knows.

Does that help, or hurt the fishing to have current on the flats?Quote:

Could you send me the link to that website Jeff. I use one that only has the level and what they will pull that day and it usually doesn't jive with what the recording says when I call them that day. Looking for something more up to date.
Thx
Right on the money from my experience with current. I always try to stay out of it if at all possible. A few weeks back we found fish on the flats when they were pulling water. I could move 10 yards and not get a bite from where we just caught several off one tree. Was a 30-40 yard stretch out of a 100 yard stretch that held all the fish because an island was diverting the current.Quote:

The website is SWPA.org/generation schedule. I'm not much on computers but my cousin was able to set it up as an app in Safari on my iPhone. It will match what is on the phone line so Saturday they have posted 30 or 1 unit all day long. Once you pull up the site the column on the left will allow you to pull up the info but usually just one day at a time at about 4pm. Friday they will post the weekend schedule.Quote:

output is real simple.
usually updates by 10AM
don't like current or crappie, love it for about everything else. stonger, better. wind on top of that even better!
Here is the USGS lake level site in graph form. It updates more often than the COE site.
