Lake came up a ton during the night

[ONE-A-DAY]

I was at Windsor running my motors last night and again this morning after some tweeks. Lake came up a lot, never seen these docks almost under water.

I just looked. It has come up over a foot in the last 3 days.

Extremely

Extremely

Supposed to be really bad this weekend and this is the normal weekend for DS so hopefully they dodged a bullet by moving it this year. They said winds up to 70 MPH in Laughlin. :eek

I wish I could understand these things. Have no idea what I'm looking at except Havasu Elev. ft'

Havasu's range is 445' to 450', having a locked in 5' variance it pretty nice.

I don't understand what it does to the upriver and lower river depth (haven't figured out that part yet) but the higher the number from Davis or Parker the higher flow from the dam into the river part. Havasu is near full today and without knowing why it looks like someone wasn't paying attention.

I do know that the closer to 450' the worse the channel gets, a lot of the seawall beach goes away.

Gone today.

Yep, and anything below 447 don't even try to run up river. At least that is what I was told.

Above 446 you are good up to the Needles bridge.

 

[fishing fool]

For me looking at those charts it's more about the flow then the level when going up river

 

[Bpracing1127]

I have notice high water is good for 3 dunes but bad for the channel and steamboat

 

[FASTJTBT144]

I heard that alot of water is entering the lake from the other end via Bill Williams river
was told lake Almador is overflowing. I was at the Springs last weekend for the ski races
and did notice alot of current and tall growth entering the lake most the day.

Always goes to full pool for DS.

Above 446 you are good up to the Needles bridge.

Usually always good to needles bridge its going above that and lake level has nothing to do with that its the flow from the dam.But it sucks there so best to stay in the lake where its safe.
