Lake Levels on the rise!!!

Texas, I pulled the report on Millwood from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission web site and as of last Thursday the lake was at 264.06 elevation, Little River was swift and dangerous at a flow of 19737 cubic feet per second. There was, as you would expect, lots of floating debris and the current had turned off the crappie fishing around the bridge. The report comes out each Thursday on their web site. I am guessing that when all this rain stops, and there is more predicted later this week, that Millwood will be in good shape this year. I say that believing that we will have some good spring rains and that February will be it's normal rainey self!! The water temp ranged 42-47 degrees by the way. I haven't fished Millwood in years but I do intend to get there some this year. I was fortunate to have had some great trips there in the past and this is shaping up to be a really good year for that lake. That said, a lot still depends on the future rain fall amounts. Hopefully, they will be in the normal range to higher. I wish everyone needing rain gets it because this drought cycle has been the dickens around the country with Texas, the western states and Florida needing a boost.

Good Fishin'
