Choke Canyon

could be getting some fresh water. Would like to see it come up a couple of feet.

From where?

Looking at the track for the disturbance out in the gulf headed our way for the weekend. Can't upload the image for some reason.

Wrong direction, if the current track is correct.

Still too early to tell. 1 model shows 1” in the area another shows up to 10”....

Being Choke, it’ll end up being 0.01” of an inch. I’d love to see about a 15’ rise, not gonna happen though.

Edit: the forecast I saw this evening looks a lot more promising, than the one I saw at lunch time, hopefully it’s right.

I hope the guy manning the gates doesn't get spooked and start letting water out anticipating the deluge that may not come.

If Choke can catch some significant runoff it will practically be a brand new lake with all the regrowth of vegetation over the last several years!

Current forecast, as of 11:15AM. from the National Weather Service Hurricane Center has Choke potentially getting 4-6" of rain. The Frio River Basis is forecast to get 2-4" of rain. Every little bit will help!

Hope Falcon gets some.

Sweet, love that new track! Falcon, Choke, Coleto and potentially Amistad (if it moves north) could all benefit.

Eh, that would probably kill all of the grass.

And all the fish would be living in the woods

I think I’d pick the woods over the grass.



What’s everyone’s guess on how much it comes up? I’ll go with 3’ if it stays low like they are showing now.

Man, I hope they are wrong but I’m just not seeing significant predictions of rain in the watershed. Three feet would be nice but ten would be better!

A big rise would be better for the lake than it staying low with grass. I think falcon is going to benefit the most from this. The watershed in Mexico could be the biggest player

new track is not looking good

Rain over the lake won’t do much. I’m guessing it only rises a few inches. Hope I’m wrong.

Dang, I just looked at the newest track, I might have to agree with the “few inches” now. Just keeps dropping lower and lower.

Looks like the Hill Country (watershed for Frio River) is not going to be getting much rain from this. We might see 1 to 2 foot rise but then it would be quickly released because they will be sending it to Lake Corpus Christi. I have always had the thought that the City of Corpus Christi, controlling body for Choke and Lake Corpus Christi, takes precedence with Lake Corpus Christi over Choke Canyon. If they just let if fill up it would be back to how it was during the 90's. It is a dream!

Choke should be on the wet side if it goes in as projected. I lived in Corpus when it filled up. I doubt this will raise it much but will help.

This storm has a weird path that sends it south west after landfall.
Most all storms that came ashore in that area would curve north west and follow the Rio Grande.
The lake that may catch a few feet of water might be Lake Corpus Christi, as the storm looks like it may follow the Nueces watershed more than the Frio.
This is looking like a miss!

When was the last time Choke kicked out any DD bass?

A 14 last year, only double digit that I’ve read about being weighed in.

A couple atleast this year from guides that I follow on Facebook. It's got some nice fish in it still. Definitely big numbers

That’s good to hear. I’m not on fakebook, so I don’t get a lot of that kind of information. Thanks!

0.000000000 of rainfall in Three Rivers so far.
