It should be at full pool or close directly, the good Lord has answered our prayers once again. Thank you bhodges for keeping us updated on this.
Too bad most of the rain yesterday fell south of Clark Hill's drainage basin or otherwise they could have shut the gates again. Lets all pray that the rain we have coming will fall where it needs to in order to raise it on up!
Yeah, most of it today is going to be south as well. The 'not completely bad news' is that if the rainfall down river is heavy enough, their flow needs can be met without increased released from the dam. That means more gains for us.
Sure going to make things interesting for the tournament.
To heck with work, lets go fishing.
I know that the clarks hill basin hasnt been getting the rain that most of us have but just below the dam and above augusta has really gotten hammered so i wonder why they havent shut off flow to the river below the dam b/c surely the downstream locations are seeing their minimum flow! I have really stayed on top of this b/c this is one lake i really love and it would really do a lot to this lake if it reached full pool!
