There are 2 gates scheduled for 4pm tomorrow for a couple of hours. Prob just to test gates and turbines in anticipation for some near-term generation. I kayak fished from the dam down to shawnee creek area a week ago. As expected, saw just carp, gar and a few cats.

Lake is getting lot of water..

They might start controlling some of the inflow with the Gens it'll be great to see them running for awhile but it should atill fall around peak power usage hours.

pray for rain!!

It's fixing to get a whole bunch more. Torrential rains today.

Yes, and Red River and Washita before the flow into Texoma are both on a rampage with more to come.

2 generators are running right now.

The lake rose over 1' in 24 hours. May get to see the floodgates open. Maybe. Do a rain dance.

I think the floodgates are barely open today. Stepson drove across it this morning and said they were open and river is running bank wide. No generators are running according to COE and the water level below the dam it about 3' higher than it is with everything off.

i remember that flood gate didn't open back to year 2006,it is a big thing for fishing that there are turn to fishingable below dam from today.
like to hear another confirm of its open.

Yes, I want someone to drive out there to confirm too. I have seen the flood gates open where it is a tiny flow, but the small increase in the water height has me a little dubious. Our vehicle is kaput until the starter get put on that we had to get repaired. It is a tad hard to do in the rain in a gravel drive with no garage.

dang..i might drive out there just to see

it just released 53 minutes ago:
DSNT2 : Lake Texoma, Denison Dam

Current Readings:

Pool elevation is 621.35 feet on Saturday 09May15 Time: 2100 hours.
At this elevation the total amount of water stored in Lake Texoma, Denison Dam is 2899727 acre-feet.
Reservoir release is 19 cubic feet per second on Saturday 09May15 Time: 2100 hours.

it's been 19cfs for awhile now. that isn't a lot of flow

Is there not a website that show if there is water being released from flood gates on Oklahoma side? I know they do have a website that shows the generation schedule for the Texas side. Need those tubes opened up. Lake is almost 5 foot high now.
