Flooding

[Boarslab]

I guess we can forget about fishing in North Ark for a while unless you want to fish out in someones cow pasture.  I live in North Central Arkansas and we have the potential to have another flood close to the one in 1982.  In 1982 it was 41 feet at Calico Rock and they are predicting 40 by Thursday.  It's 10 pm and still pouring so this is going to be a big one.

Yeah it is going to get high. I have been out part of the night with it and kinda expect to be called back out sometime during the night.

Is it over the dam in batesville yet like it was in April 2004.

[peakhog]

Big, big water in the upper White River will flush any white bass back into Beaver lake.

It is already past the level of 04.

It is already past the level of 04.

I was still living in Augusta in '82. The White River got to 38 ft. there that year. According to the link it is going to approach those levels.

A cabin we stay at a few miles up river from Calico Rock has water inside it now.  During the 04 flood, it got close, but never rose high enough to go inside.  The river is still rising too.

[pioneerhog]

There are suppose to be some cabins on there way to Batesville from up around Guion. Not sure exactly how many.

[doo-ran]

We have a cabin at Allison just below Jack's and Angler's in Mtn. View. Fortunately, it would need to come up 5 additional feet to be in our cabin. The water is expected to crest tonight. We are watching the level at Calico Rock constantly. Also, the Sylamore is beginning to recede...this will help a little but I here Jack's is underwater.

 Ozark Lock and Dam was releasing 251,100 cfs down the Arkansas River this morning.  That is a lot of water!

GOT ABOUT A 10TH INCH IN ASHLEY COUNTY

[HogNuttz]

Ozark Lock and Dam was releasing 251,100 cfs down the Arkansas River this morning.  That is a lot of water! 

I kinda figured they were.  A couple days ago my road, which runs right next to the lake near Russellville, was underwater.  This morning they had sucked so much water out of it there were trees showing in places I had never seen trees before, although I'm sure some of them may have washed down recently.  It didn't make any sense to send that much water down river and run the lake so low unless they were planning of filling it back up real quick.

The crest is expected to be 39.5 feet on the White.  The crest was 31.5 in 2004.  I should be getting some pictures soon.

Depends on where you are going and what you are fishing for.  All in all, I would say that the fishing won't be very good, but the weather is perfect.  Drew county got about 1 inch or so.

There are some of the Batesville area here.

[Hawgin84]

The White River at Augusta is projected to crest at 37 ft. That will be the 6th all time high and the highest since '82.

[RazorbackRon]

Thanks for the War Eagle pic.    Here's one at normal flow for a little perspective.

What part of the White is it getting that high Swino? I know it crested right around 27 feet here in Batesville earlier and has since began to slowly fall. It is suppose to get to 32 feet in Newport and stay above 30 feet for several days.

Well,  I had a chance to put my boat in today and survey the damage from Guion to Round Bottom Access near Sylamore.  It looks like most of the houses at Round Bottom are still standing, but most got wet.  Below Guion it looks like only 2 of 12 or 13 are still standing--the rest have been swept away.  One house is blocking the main river road and another is piled up in a drift at the end of the housing division. I have no idea where the rest are, but they are gone. You know, I still can't believe people built houses there.  I grew up nearby and I have seen this place flood two or three times a year.  I hate it for the people that lost their houses, but a little common sense would help.  You can't build houses on the banks of the White River unless it is protected and on high ground.  If you are below Crooked Creek and the Buffalo this is going to happen--not the this degree every year, but it floods often.  I will try to attach some photos of Guion later.

The bass fishing was just picking up too..  I was up on Table Rock when the rain came.  I caught one fish in two days!  The lake was up almost 20 feet..  Craziness.  Looks like I'll have to wait a couple weeks to hit it up again!

Does anyone have photos of spring river or the elevenpoint river?

[DeltaBoy]

I grew up at Clarendon and in 1982 it was lapping the top of the levie and we had to cap my grandads pitcherpump well in his garden the river cause it to shoot up 6 ft in the air like a Artisen well.

The river got to 32.8 ft. in '82 at Clarendon. It is predicted to make 33 ft. by Sunday.

[DeltaBoy]

It they are correct it just might top the level this time.

[Boarslab]

I think channel KY3 in Springfield, MO has some picture of the Elevenpoint on their website.  Also, check KAIT 8's in Jonesboro---seems like I saw some there as well.
