Well... I'm a dufus! I realize now that that's a picture of Norfork dam only - not Bull Shoals. But I take it the White did back up to the dam - is that for real?

Holy cow Steve!! Those are amazing videos. Is that Anglers Resort? Jeff, The White backed up 15 feet against the Norfork Dam. It backed up into Dry Run Creek.

Seeing those flood gates open at the dam is an awesome sight that you don't see very often. It's hard to fathom the enormous pressure all that water is exerting against those dams. I'm glad the Corps...

MAN THIS IS NUTS! Is there any word of damages to operations like sewage treatment plans or anything above the lakes? With that much water going through the rivers, one can only imagine what things...

Ray: No worries. Minimum effects at worst. The fish are accustomed to high water levels and changes in water. We fished it today and caught lots of fish.

Seeing all the houses, septic systems, trash cans, grease pits, etc that got covered with water makes me wonder what all is headed down river. This is the time you really have a pretty good idea what...

The flooding on the Norfork was back up fromt he White. The Norfork had virtually zero current in it. However I have not fished the lower White yet. It may be a different story there.

Ray, No doubt many fish will have been pushed downstream. The last big flood we had here saw many fish stranded in pools way above the river, in some cases we were able to net them out and return them...

Water levels such as we have seen will also kill fish. High levels of silt and mud do not allow the gills of fish to remain free of contamination, they either die directly from not being able to...

*B*U*M*P* .. remember this ? I bet you guys remember it all to well. Question, how did impact the river ? cheers, Brian

Brian: I may be the only one but I think in the long run it helped. We had 60 years of sediment that had built up over time that needed to be cleaned out. It pushed a ton of gravel into the river....

Ya know John, most all the old guys here at Taney say the very same things. So I look at it the only way I can - Floods commonly occur in cycles... and those cycles are good for the river in the long...

John, You should keep posting these pictures often to ensure that people can see this flooding. They might decide not to come to AR to fish. Might not help out the guides but it sure would cut down on...

Brian: I live just upstream from the Akerman Access. No secret what it looks like now. It actually cleaned a bunch of the sand out of the river. There is a lot more clean gravel now. Personally I...
