There's a USGS flow gauge below the dam near Del Rio. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/uv/?site_no=08451800&PARAmeter_cd=00065,00060 And here's the link to all of the USGS gauges in Texas. https://waterdata.usgs.gov/tx/nwis/...=basin_cd&search_site_no_station_nm= "If ever time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin." - Samuel Adams

I was curious if anyone knew how much they were planning on releasing.

As your aware go marker to marker if possible. Man that’s gonna suck if it goes all the way to 65’ low. Have you heard any rumors about them closing Diablo down? My buddy was told that, but don’t ever know what’s true and not.

But what they're turning loose and we're turning loose won't hold either one of us level.. And there is no telling what they will do in the near future.. About ten years ago I had someone from IBWC standing on the other side of my sales counter, and we were talking about water levels, usage, and what the lakes were for.. And he told me that they don't care if another fish is ever caught out of the lake.. And I believe em.. Until a true catastrophe happens, Amistad and Falcon are in for more hard times.. Anybody want to buy a nice building in a good location in Zapata? James Bendele Falcon Lake Tackle "On the eighth day, Man invented the Fish Hook."
