My wife and I had a little road trip today to check on the camp and to check out the high water. This is South Graysport Landing. Two more feet and the water will be in the parking lot. Attachment 333990
Four more ft and it will be over the emergency spillway. Attachment 333991
Grenada Landing starts at the edge of the parking lot. Attachment 333992
Heres the parking area below the pavilion at Grenada Landing. Attachment 333993
Well, there's a lot more structure in the water now. A little bit more and you can just stand under the emergency spill way with a dip net and get your limit.

They got 3000 going out of butla and she still coming up with a bunch more rain coming. 2 ft from running over.
Cray, visited Hwy 51 Landing again today....may have dropped 6". Very little current in the river when I came over the bridge.
Looks like it’s Going to take a long time to get down to normal.

With gate open only 3000 and it spread out almost 2 miles across there I wouldn't expect to see much current. It's not like your looking at a stream right now. Cold water just be,ow my house is almost if not out of the banks so still a lot of water that won't be there until Friday and got more coming this week.Quote:

Referring to Scott V's post, this is Lakeview in 2010. I was working Security at Horeshoe Casino after retiring, turning around guests at the levee. All Casinos were closed! Now it is Private, but some of you up North knew it well. MS River @ Memphis that year crested @ 54'Attachment 334131Attachment 334132Attachment 334133

I thought it was 2011 when Lakeview got flooded out? Remember clearly the big rains that spring it was coincidentally the same year I started my business. Did we get flooded consecutively in 10 and 11? Brains about shot I reckon, lol. Either way yep that's what sunk the baitshop/ fish market and closed off the gates to us public citizens. No need digging up them bones I'm sure, been talked about a dozen times just in my short time here on the board. I remember the spring a year before it got flooded the lady working the baitshop said a group of guys busted up ice to get up in the run out and flat wore some spawning crappie, that would have been round this time of year. Makes me rethink that water temperature theory we all have, but all lakes are different. Lakeview was a treasure to have, I was green carp exclusive back then. Oh well, good memories thanks for the pic Mr. Calvin!Quote:
