The lake rose 4.3 feet during the month of May to its current level of 1,848.1 feet, about a foot higher than what was expected.The remaining snowmelt coming out of Montana is predicted to continue its runoff at a fairly rapid rate. For that reason, the corps will continue higher-than-average releases from the Garrison Dam and others in the Missouri River system. Snowpack levels remaining are well below those experienced in 2011.“It’s been a good thing so far as long as they don’t get too carried away with releases,” said Kent Yancey, who has operated Big Muddy Guide Service for the past six years. “Right now, it's great fishing on the river.”He said there are usually fish to be caught on the Missouri River around Bismarck-Mandan through June but the higher water levels seem to be keeping them local in greater abundance. Yancey said he is just hoping there aren't any major rain events that turn the already elevated river levels from manageable to overflowing. Garrison Dam releases were increased from 37,000 cubic feet per second to 39,000 cfs near the end of May, for a monthly average of 36,800 cfs. Releases will be increased to 44,000 cfs through the first part of this month.“Due to the water currently being stored in the reservoirs and the higher-than-average runoff being forecast in the Missouri River Basin above Sioux City, Iowa, the service level will remain 15,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) above full service to facilitate the evacuation of stored flood waters,” John Remus, chief of the Missouri River Basin Water Management Division, said in a statement.The 2018 runoff forecast in the Missouri River Basin, above Sioux City, Iowa, is 34.6 million acre feet, 136 percent of average. May runoff between Fort Peck and Garrison was the second highest on record.“More than 50 percent of the system’s flood storage remains available to capture runoff from the remaining mountain snowmelt and summer rainfall events,” said Remus, compared to more than 60 percent storage reported available last month.</blockquote>
