are they still generating all the time?

havent been in a few days. but honestly. im sure they are bud

Its actually slowed down somewhat. They are peaking at 2000cfs now which isnt too bad but still too high for good fishing. If you look at the graph it looks like a roller coaster going up and down. Wish they would at least let it stay down for a day or two on the weekends.

hmm.... the lake is 3 feet below pool and they are still releasing alot of water.

Electricity generation to run folks ac's?

as far as the power demand. that usually takes place in the early afternoon. last summer they would start releasing around rough 1:00-1:30. and shut it down oh, somewhere around 7 if i remember correctly. this summer their just trying to get the water down low where the guys can mess with the flood gates.
if theres water in there they cant work. i guess even tho the water is 3ft low, they don't want to run the risk of it building back up to pool level & putting a stop to the work.

Went last saturday and they we at 1900cfm, still a lttle fast for fishing. Finally got into some good bass about a mile from the bridge to salvage the fihing trip. Put in at the Dam at 7:30 am and pulled out at 12:30 pm still areal good float. Glad to get out it was getting really steamy.

Good to know, what type of bass were you catching? striper or largemouth.

Blacks, I did see one guy catch a striper when we put in at the damm

Imma be there tomorrow late afternoon

hanging at the dam

is there any areas that are wade friendly

sos's a man can keep cool on a hot summer day

do yall normally leave your vehicle on the east or west side of the river at the dam?

Look Look ! A minor abberation in the generation cycle.

Wow !

that graph is nuts. up and down up and down

Steve...If I was home I'd go with ya....I live 15 minutes from there. I have had fair luck wading out at the little gravel launch at Riverside Park. There is a kind of a gravel bottomed basin with a series of submerged rocks there. I use a sinking shooting head (actually a Teeny 250) and cast out into the basin. Let the line sweep thru....retrieve and cast again. The fishing is slow, but the bass I have caught have been pretty good sized. Takes about 30 casts per fish...so it is slow but doable. Also caught some good sized (15-20 inch) channel cats there.

its just dumb cant fish couldnt duck hunt last year its just screwed they need to shut if off i have been fishin down there all my life and my uncle (brazosratt) he has been down there for at lest 30 years and it has never done this ex if the lake floods but it just sucks most people have no idea how great fishing is down there and some monster smallmouth bass brazosratt laned one in feb.09 that was a eazy 8 pounds thang was a beast
