Nolin at new record pool level

[pontooner]

Was at 544.8 ft this A.M. which is 29.8 ft above summer pool and surpassed the old record pool level of 540.9 set in 1983.

It came up 3.4 ft since yesterday A.M. and with the outflow cut back at the dam I would think you'll see it up another 2 ft or so tomorrow.


FYI the top of the dam is 560 ft. so if we get to much more rain and you can just launch right on the road that crosses the dam.

Yeah it's got the river backed up also I can't get out! Road is under water and only one way out. Should be setting at camp at the CR on our annual fishing trip. Woh is me!

Thanks for the correction.

Guess I should have looked it up myself instead of trusting something I read in the local Edmonson Co. newspaper.

Movin on up, now at 549.0 ft this A.M.

Came up 1.9 ft since yesterday, so it looks like there will be a new record set sometime today/tomorrow and with more rain coming in it's no telling how high it's gonna get if they don't open up the gates.

Now at 551 ft a new pool record and still rising about a foot every 24 hrs.


Is the top of the dam really at 560 ft because that's what the article in the local Edmonson newspaper said and they were wrong about the old record pool level.

Spillway is 560....it will/would be tough for any of these lakes to get over the dam becasue the spillways are designed not to let that happen

[pontooner]

Okay thanks.


They have that cut back/out there by the dam so I did't think it would get over the dam, just sitting here looking at my 8 ft celing and trying to imagine the water level even being that close to the top of it.

Gonna have to head up there and see it before they start dropping it. Got to see the tailwaters when they were flooded last year and thouht I would never see anything that compared to that but this might just do it.


Here's some pics of the flooded tailwaters I took last year and posted on the photo board in case anyone didn't see them.

Check out this link, click the photos link in the first paragraph and you can visit recent photos of the lake.

The lake has increased at least a foot since these pictures were posted!
