Its dumping right over the lake right now. So at least we'll get that runoff too.

Bad thing is, that chart Will posted shows the river isn't even close to flood stage and it won't be unless another big storm pops up.

I can assure you, the TCEQ is all over who is permitted to pump water out of what pits/ponds/lakes and how much of it. They control volumes, when/where they can be pumped from, etc. Therefor, if any "illegal pumping" is being performed (can pretty much assure you there isn't), they will pay the price...and on Choke, it could be in the form of a hungry alligator.

As long as they haven't closed hwy 16 going into Tilden then Choke isn't going to get water to bring it up close to full.

Yep, I remember when it filled last time it was over 16. It was quite a site to see and the lake was coming up about 6" an hour. We had trotlines out and it was insane with all of the debris and fire ants floating in the water.

Rivers at 19' in Tilden, still not flood stage but way better than nothing.

Drove Hwy 90 going to San Antonio yesterday. The dry Frio, Frio river, dinner creek, blanco creek, Nolan creek, Sabinal river, elm creek, and squirrel creek all had water flowing. And it all those creeks and rivers flow into choke.

It will take a few days for all that water to make it down to Choke and hopefully well get some more!

Hill Country getting blasted again tonight. Hopefully sits on top of them and drops 5+ inches in the next couple hours.
There is still a ton of water coming down the Nueces and Atascosa and Lake CC is pretty much full...wish there was a way to send that over to Choke!

Yep, more rain the watershed.

This is good news for Choke though even though it's not into the watershed of the Frio because they let a lot of water flow down to the bays to flush them out with fresh water.
Once the bays get what they need and the lake CC is full everyone's happy and they'll or should leave Choke alone.
Just checked the daily resorvior levels and as of right now with a lot more on the way, Lake CC is .55 feet low!
Choke is still -25.92 feet low, which I'm sure it will come up a few more feet. Choke holds a lot of water, and it takes a lot to fill that lake when it spills out into all those flats and coves, but there will be plenty of new water to fish for sure!

I hope the dam master has the gates closed. I looked at the river flow on the backside of the dam and there is quite a bit of water there, hopefully it's just back flow from the atascosa river???

Yeah, the Atascosa is at the 3rd highest level in it's recorded history. It's a shame all that water will go straight to the bay (the Lake CC flood gates are open and will be for a while), but maybe that will satisfy the amount of fresh water the bays need for a while.

Choke up .50 since yesterday.
