Just shy of full pool at 659.2 (660 full). Should get close to full pool later this week. Truman upstream is like 30 ft over normal pool and they are dumping water like crazy downstream so Ameren may end up opening the flood gates at Bagnell dam. Water continues to be murky and you will run into debris fields on the lake along with the occasional larger chunks of wood. I don't see it clearing up anytime soon. Keep a sharp eye out while running.

Test ran my new 32 DW at LOTO over Lake Race weekend. The water is FULL of debris. Not good for fast runs at all. I cruised under 40 mph and numerous times came off plane. MM 18-24 was the worst out of the areas I covered.
