I cant find where they list the flow out of the lake or if there was any yesterday. I could have sworn that there was current on the water yesterday pulling my marker bouy. Caught them OK, but not on the areas that seem to be the norm. Maybe going downstream from and open gate or piping it to Tawakoni. Sandbass were on fire though and had to weed through 20 SB for every 3-5lber...have not done that on that lake before.

I pretty sure they would not be letting water out. Maybe it was so hot you thought it was moving

I don't know if this will help David.. It shows a little flow-not much. You may have to copy and paste to your browser--hyper link won't open ??

The SRA Website is still showing 69.5 cfs, which is more than 20 times the draw they were pulling over this past winter and up until April of this year. This, plus the low amount of water coming into the lake from the creeks is the reason the level is dropping so fast. I'm not sure if this is enough flow to create a noticable current.

Depending on where you are on the lake, the wind will make more current than you think it should.
