Thanks Will. Looks like there is a decent amount of brush already in the water.

Cracker, there is a ton of brush in the water! I don't know how long that type of brush will last though (not sure if it's hardwood or soft). Hopefully it comes up 10', doubtful I know though. Looking at the graphs it has finally started to inch up again, they seemed to have closed the dam gate. Looked like they were letting out almost 1k cubic ft of water for a few days. Huisache island still won't be fish able at this level.  Thanks Will. Were those whitecaps on the second pic?

frio was moving pretty swift at HWY 90 on my way back from Amistad. Hard to believe if the lake doesn't take a good jump. Nueces, on the other hand, was a madhouse at hwy 90. lake CC is gonna get a flushing

How high does the lake need to get before they open south shore?
Just one more cast!

Nueces, on the other hand, was a madhouse at hwy 90. lake CC is gonna get a flushing Lake CC probably has the gates wide open. Folks down on the coast are going to get plenty of fresh water to flush out the bays. Hopefully they'll shut the gates and won't let much out during the summer to at least hold the level of CC through this summer.
Just one more cast!

I snapped some pics of the Nueces after lake mathis where it the meets the park on the side of ih 37. It was flooded pretty bad, closed the feeder road and park

Why would they open the gates on CC (Choke Canyon?) as low as it still is? They dont need any water south of there.
