If you round to the nearest foot of elevation for a year to date idea of what water levels have been:
626ft - 15 days
627ft - 43 days
628ft - 47 days
629ft - 81 days
630ft - 29 days
631ft - 9 days
632ft - 9 days
633ft - 5 days
634ft - 3 days
635ft - 1 days
636ft - 2 days
This was as of Thursday.

Travis,
It is my understanding that the normal winter pool will be 620. Summer pool is 630. They were in the process of slowly pulling it down to the 620 level when we were hit with the 4+ inches of rain last week. I think they held the water on Centerhill for a few days to keep downstream flooding to a minimal. I would guess they will run the 6750 cfs until they get it back into the mid 620's. It appears they have stopped it from rising and it is now slowly falling. It looks as if they have got Great Falls back down now. Was up there Friday with Alphahawk and we noticed some large shad(hand size) floating dead on top of the water. I guess they are getting sucked through the sluice gate. Just odd to see a shad kill when they are that large. The fishing was fairly slow. Gens had only been running for about 24 hours when we went. I think the next couple of days fishing should get better. 1 problem( I have to work.)
