Just what I've been waiting for!!! Here comes the water!
Grandbury has been releasing water most of last week. It was a minimum release of around 442 cfs. Grandbury is also/has been near normal level. PK has been releasing a very small amount; about 1/4 what Grandbury has been releasing in cfs. But it has very slowly been coming up too. Today, I see PK releasing 9,000 cfs. Grandbury is releasing 1322 cfs at the moment. But I expect Gradbury to increase it's release with the flow PK is putting out. PK has dropped 4" in the last 24 hours. And is 3" low. Grandbury is near normal and has done a balancing act with it's inflow/output, for the most part. But it's going to have to increase it's output to keep it from flooding. Hope that's somewhat clear to most.
Anyway, the W lake has come up almost 6" in the last 24 hours as of this moment. And sits at 3.54 feet low. I expect it to come up a good bit when Grandbury opens it's big gates to handle what PK is letting out. This means the river is going to rise above the W lake for a little while. And the upper end of the lake will have lots of debris once the surge reaches the upper end of the W lake. I hope it fills the W lake up! So the water fowl should stop in on the way to the coast in early November.
I doubt that the W lakes rise will have any impact on most of you walking into your hunting areas. But if the Brazos River Valley gets more rain as we have had, it might could for a little while. And don't fret though. I've hunted the W lake when it was flooded before at +9 feet to +15. You can too.
I remember one year pulling up to a tree in my boat to take a stand down I had to leave up when the water started rising. The stand was 20' off the ground.

I think it would take a lot more water in the upper Brazos River Valley to cause Whitney to flood like that again. I've seen it at +23 feet a great number of times. And have seen it come up over 9 feet over night. First time to see it flood was in 1990. Happened 3 times in a two year period there. Water was over the 174 Kimble Bend bridge. I was at Beth Kirby's fishing barge at Lakeside when that one started in 1991. 174 at the Nolan river south of Rio Vista, water was over the road. Highway patrol had 174 shut down. Water was running over the road way on 933 in front of the Steiner Valley Ranch. And flowed over Hwy 56 by Plowman. I nearly got swept off into the lake on that one. A newly opened store in Lakeside Village got a new name after that one: Lotta Watta.
