[QUOTE="Bauer, post: 220307, member: 775"] Ft Peck is full, but with the gates open, it is deceiving. We all look at it like here where we can push 50-55 through the generation plant before needing to worry about the spillway. Ft Peck can only run 14k through the plant, so if they are in action stage, they have no choice but to open the spillway up. They have to run 30k CFS through their spillway just to match our 44k we are letting through our plant. Pretty crazy when you think about it. Biggest issue is the Yellowstone and the snow melt. Lets just say this, a shallow water fisherman I shall become, there is lots of flooded trees and vegetation on the big lake now. Its amazing how much extra hiding spots show up with 5 feet of extra water! Like Dean says, were over the hump and on the downhill, my concern is letting it out too quickly and losing all these good fishing spots in July and August as levels start dropping. [/QUOTE]
