Well, did this weekends rains help the lake level any?
Are many stumps showing yet??
Getting geared up for the trip in 18 days!

I would say that if it did anything it probably helped it. Should be a tad bit easier to navigate now.
Water Level on Reelfoot. 12 is pool level
USGS Current Conditions for USGS 07027000 REELFOOT LAKE NR TIPTONVILLE, TN
Rode around a little bit Monday; lots of stumps showing but a whole lot more just under the water surface. I can report I’ve never seen so many big carp jumping and when I say big I mean really big! Hopefully cooler weather will slow them down some. I won’t be going back across the lake to the deeper water anytime soon.

Did you have to spin off of any car hoods? Last time I was out there, I got on three before I ever reached the middle of the lake.Quote:

With the river being up right now, has that pushed some water back into Reelfoot?
Just over a week away and we will be down there!

I’m sure someone else knows exactly, but I don’t really think so. The Mississippi isn’t even out of its banks yet here. Not sure how much it is going to rise.Quote:

The Mississippi won’’t back up in Reelfoot, takes rain to raise the water level.

Wasn't sure if any creeks or such fed the lake. We have backwater right now just up the Ohio River from the big rains in Iowa, MO, and IL. Figured all that water would be raising the Mississippi River also.Quote:

River has crested and going to be dropping fast, an inch or more is forecast for the weekend but it won’t affect Reelfoot much more than a couple of inches.
Cooler weather is forecast so maybe the crappie will get active. Lots of stumps will be showing but hundreds more just under the water. I recommend not going much faster than idle speed and be prepared for carp to jump all around and at least 1 or 2 in the boat.

I would guess upper 70’s. More rain the better it should be. Looks like you are going to have a great weekend!
