Oh, man, that's some high water! I hope the fish are enjoying the playground!
WOW!!!! I've been on the lake when it was high but nothing like that. Another good rain and it's going over the spillway guaranteed. Too bad it's not spring cause they would be killing a spinnerbait if it was. Those playground fish run BIG!!!!!!!
I sure hope it can hold, but I always wanted lake front property, seriously though, what are they actually doing to the spillway? Anyone catching anything since it has been up? Man that thing is like Barren in the 90's when the State Dock was in the parking lot and you launched at the cottages.
They are correcting a design issue with the dam. When they open it up to lower the lake level it erodes the sides pretty bad which cuts into the foundation of the dam itself. They've tried several times to fix it by adding rip rap but it didn't work so they've dug it all out and repoured the walls of the discharge making them taller and deeper into the hills. They are also adding some baffles in some way to help control the discharge and adding some walkways around it to try and make it more user friendly. Most of that is a quote from a friend of mine that lives on the lake and knows someone in the corps office. That's where my info came from so it may wrong but that's what he said.
if you go the rough river corp link off the daily lake reports page it shows a couple pics and tells why they are doing it.
