Mark Twain Lake draw down

[mongo82]

I asked coe about draw down and this is what they sent me.

The lake is at 610.1 today and will stabilize around 609.5 in order to provide some stability for the shad spawn - through June 15 or so. The lake has been a little bit elevated due to the amount of precipitation we have received in recent weeks.
You can check the daily level at RIVER AND RESERVOIR REPORT

So if everything goes as said the lake should stableize sometime tomorrow ( maybe even tonight ) just checked and it's about 609. 8. Fishing should improve quite a bit, not that it's been that bad anyway.

Bad News!!!!
The lady that said they where going to hold the lake at 609.5 is full of it, I just checked and they dropped it more, from noon to 6 this evening it dopped another quarter of a foot. looks to be around 609.2. I was on the lake today and having a hard time finding fish, I did wind up with a limit but it took 9 hours of fishing and throwing back a bunch of 5 and 6 inch fish, most my fish where 10 1/2 to 11 with a couple 9 1/2 inchers, mostly on minnows, 8-9 feet down in any water that was 8 ft are more. Eggs in the fish are turning brownish, it looks like there not going to spawn out ( at least the ones I've been catching ) water temps started in the mid 60's and wound up around 74 by 4 pm.
