4-29-09 UPDATE
The Spillway gates are lowered to 88 cfs. Evening Hole - Much of its vegetation was removed and some of the silt is gone as well. More gravel was added at the upper end. Minimum damage. Lost Creek - Minimum damage. The Bluff area looks much better as a lot of the silt was removed and the gravel looks good. Spillway Creek - Update Pending The fish population is lower, but
the stocking will resume on Thursday, May 1. The ODWC did
not stock trout on April 17 due to high water conditions, but
those amounts will be made up in the upcoming 2-3 stockings. 4-28-08 UPDATE The Spillway Gates are finally closing. The new gate discharge was 88 CFS, with 1 low flow valve open at 12%. At 11:00 the lake level was 612.90. We will post more updates
on Tuesday. 4-22-08 UPDATE The lake level today at 3:00 p.m. shows to be 617.91 feet. Releases remain the same. The "UNOFFICIAL" best guess is that the USACE plans to close the Spillway flood gates once the lake level reaches 615 feet. Again, this is unofficial, but a lot of you would like to have some idea. This seems to be the best we can hope for at this time. Should we get more information on this, we will pass it
along. 4-18-08 UPDATE
Lake Notice - Broken Bow Lake 4-14-08 UPDATE - Spillway Creek Running Really Fast
4-13-08 Update
4-11-08 Update Even though the lake level is still high and the flood gates are still open, Beavers Bend is allowing us back on to the trout stream. Water is high and muddy, but some fishermen have been successful.
4-10-08 Update
Beavers Bend Park Director Jim Miller says
that for the next eight hours lake levels will be monitored and
a decision will be made regarding the flow of the Spillway flood
gates. The park and trout stream remain closed at this time.
4-8-08 Update Two of the spillway flood gates were opened 6 inches to allow about 1000 cfs of water to escape. We met James Vincent, at the spillway and he was told that they might let as much as 15000 cfs out at the spillway if conditions made it necessary. There are some problems at the diverter for Lost Creek and things will get worse if releases have to be increased. The Weather channel is predicting more rain today and tomorrow. The current flow at Smithville is about 1000 cfs and the lake is dropping slowly since yesterday.
