As of 9:00 am they are still bungering wide open. The lake is at 537.48, headed to 534 I guess?? The " Under Water Construction Company " worked all through the weekend with the bunger running and are still doing so at this moment. So much for my theory of bunger all weekend and shut down Monday thru Thursday, not happening!!
There is all kinds of equipment at Sawaha and no less that 12 pick ups that say Under Water Construction Company on the door. 3 huge crains and they have built a working dock by the gates on the dam. BIG undertakings 👍👍. No way to fish on the lower river at this time.
Thanks Mike. Looks like this spring is wiped out pretty well on the lower river. Too bad they didn't get it all together and stock Albert Pike heavily during Dec, Jan, and Feb. But then, the Corps doesn't really care about fishing. Maybe the Chamber of Commerce and other local leadership could have worked with them for some alternative plans. Scheduling this work on the dam during the spring rainy season could have been put off until June and work through the dry days of summer. Oh well, I'm just another arm chair quarterback spouting off. Please keep up the good work Mike.
