I didn't draw it. Not sure who did or why they didn't hunt it but obviously they didn't do their homework.. Pumps on and ducks stacked in there thick….

Not sure he does anymore, his old place was bought below White Rock.

Yeah didn't think so. Used to see him pass with that massive boat almost every day.
I hunted with ronnie many days below whiterock. Down river. Behind the willow chute. Boy, at a certain level it was a stomp hole where he had his boat blind. He let us hunt his blind if he wasnt hunting. Man, what memories.

Yep, that's where I hunted. Also, the same location that the Drake's Migration episode was filmed with Chad Belding and crew.

Hearing good reports. Sounds like the thaw is on!
It's been a little slow here. Hoping tomorrow is better. Real froze still
Good day again today. Thorny ahot a bunch too.
Big river rising and subtly pushing back on tribs, saturated ground and 1.5" rain in last 36 hours is spreading the water out. This camera is 1/2 mile from Loosahatchie river in SW TN and has not seen back water like this since last winter. Waterfowl loving it, land critters not so much.

I am impressed that this thread reached 250 replies. It may be a record for the waterfowl section. That original post has gone a long way since Jan 4.

Not sure if the gauge at Obion is operating correctly or not. The freeze messed it up for a while.
If its accurate, its going to be an interesting last week of season with lots of ducks in the area and water absolutely everywhere.

Which gage are you referencing? Reference 4th column, "Latest Level" as of 0800hrs this morning.

I was looking at the gauge on NOAA's website, and it matches what you have shown in the table. It was hung up for a few days but maybe its fixed now.
34.84 just feels high for the rain event we just got and the fact the middle fork and north fork aren't overly up. It does look like upstream of Mckenzie got a
lot of rain though.
I hope its right and I can get away from this ole JOB!

You can drive in Gooch on dry ground and the gauge shows nearly 35'.... something doesn't feel right.
Just shy of 1" over last 12 hours, almost identical to my rain gage here at my house in SW TN.

That gauge cannot be right

Yeah may have something to do with the gauge at Mckenzie being nearly 9 feet above record stage after 1" of rain.
I'll send to my team that works on USACE gauges (maintenance, calibration, etc) in hopes they can get the correct team (USGS, etc) on it and aware. Generally speaking, this time of year, we need all gauging to report accurately out ahead of annual flood season (Jan -June), but we oftentimes have gauges that fail from time to time. Thanks for the "boots on the ground feedback".

Check out the Bogota stage just below the Obion stage. That should confirm that something is fishy.
