Thread: Green River Lake update

March 25th....sounds optimistic.
Seriously though, hope it gets lined out sooner than you think and you can get back to fishing Green

It's even worse today .... 697 (and still rising) ... and the COE FB page says they "might" get the spill basin done sometime next week. They musta had a pretty good storm down that way, as they had the dam road closed because of a downed tree over it (but it's been removed & road is open again).

I am using the Louisville District Daily Report and it said 695.2 ft, a raise of 3.2 ft from yesterday. Either way as big as Green is now either is a bunch of water.

698.13 that's a lot of water. Look like it will crest about 6' short of the record.

Yeah, I use that one, too, but it's only updated once a day (in the AM). I used this site : Lake Levels in Kentucky, United States : when I reported the 697 level (@10:21PM) .... it updates several times a day and the update times are posted.

And you ain't just whistling Dixie when you say "either is a bunch of water" !! The lake banks ain't "vertical", so it takes a lot more water coming in to raise it higher than when it's at normal levels.

Taken from Charles Norfleet's Facebook page .... Green is now up to the third level parking lot :

Wow!
A friend of mine with a houseboat there says at least March according to the Corp before it gets “down”. Not exactly sure what that level is, but doesn’t sound promising

Yeah, you'd have to figure that even at 1ft/day it's gonna take a month to get back down to Winter Pool. And with mid March being the time when they start raising it back up to Summer Pool, it might be a moot point to try and get it that low ... except for the fact that Feb into mid March last year was when it went as high as it is now. And all that hinges on whether or not they can pull it that fast, that long, and the subsequent rains/snows that will be adding water back in the meantime. They can dump it only so fast without causing flooding problems downstream.
