The problem that the LCRA has is that no matter what, someone will complain. If they had released water ahead of all the weather it wouldn't have been enough to make a big difference. Also, had they pre-emptively released, and then the rain not have been very substantial, people would have complained. Its almost like being a tournament director and deciding whether or not to delay a start due to bad weather. They had almost 2 weeks worth of knowing what was on the way with all the flow charts and engineers that were in the Junction/llano area when all this began.

I'm betting the LCRA knows a ton more about how to manage the water releases than the fishernen do.

I'm betting they thought travis was so low that it could hold whatever rain they got. 50ft is a whole lot of water. Nobody knew that much rain would drop and if they let it go early and didnt get enough to do anything everybody would be complaining about how they mismanage the water anyway.
