I plan on going to Granger later in the week. It's currently 6' high, with a lot of rain to come. How far will they let the lake get up before they close it?

528' is flood stage. That is where the water comes over the spillway. They use to close it at 520'. But I also seen them close it at 515'. Man, with all this fresh water, should be a good yellow cat week. I'm going in the morning just to rod and reel. This weekend we are setting out lines. Just renewed my boat insurance.

We did ok rod and reeling. Brought home 8 nice keepers. Needed some shad with the lake being up like it is. Can't throw a cast net yet, back is still healing from surgery. Seeing on how this rain effects us. If we get to much, they will close the parks. Right now the dam gates are closed, so the lake is raising.

Looks like all the right areas for the lake to come up just got hammered this morning. I was hoping to go out this afternoon. Will have to wait and see about that.

I think the ramps will be under water by Saturday. Willis creek is catching a ton of water right now. Was really wanting to fish this weekend.

Lake came up over 2' from yesterday rain. Setting at over 513 right now. If they don't close the ramps, it will be a short back to the water. Still looks like Taylor is closed by the corp web sight. That and Wilson Fox east are usually the last ramps to close.

Just looked at the Ag Web 90 forecast. Once we get through June the rain goes back to normal to just below normal. Lake should stay above normal through the summer. Looks like a roller coaster ride for cat fishing this summer.

Just talked to the Corp on Granger. Willis Creek, Friendship and the East Boat Ramp at Wilson Fox is still open. But getting real close to the top. If the lake keeps raising they will be closing soon.

Wilson Fox is still open as of 9 am this morning. Had a little luck last night. Yellow cats were not biting, on my lines anyways.

Not much traffic on the lake that's for sure.
