I looked at the ACE graphs and all of the White RIver lakes are still at peak capacity.

With this last bunch of rain we are to crest again Saturday at 932. SO what fun are we having down here, well I will letyou all know that the water still sucks and looks like chocolate milk. I even heared that Beaver at the Dam area is like 5 or less in viz.

The marian is open kind of. Limited but we do have power to run most everything but not all. Well we did before we came up this time. I wil be out Saturday for a bit and see what it looks like. I know that we have many tanks that need to be filled and I need to do some yearly mantance work on the system but until I konw for sure we got all 3 phase back, I cant run the system.

I will pass on what I know when I can.

Looks like they had to open BS flood gates again.

Midwest Aquatics is going down this weekend to Kimberling City. Sounds like the lake is still very high. The houseboats still can't go under the bridge.

When I was down there for DUI, water was having a hard time going under the bridges, let alone boats.

TBL has like about 8-10 foot of vis, no matter how shallow or deep you are. The water is just a nasty BROWN color. Fish are all over inthe shallows and lots of big Bass also. Water temps are about 64* at 15-20 feet. The vis is the same all the way to 150 foot just gets dark after about 60 almost no ambiant light. Even with HID still only about 8-10 foot of vis and in brown colored water. In time it wil get better. Corps say that about mid july we should be back to 917. Since I am having time to go and dive and not be doing so much work around the docks I can keep and get a better report more often. The last several weeks the dives have been in shallow water and fixing stuff.
