If you’re watching “Bassmaster LIVE,” you heard Kevin VanDam note that the water was a couple inches higher this morning than when he left it yesterday afternoon. That’s definitely the case, as you can see from the accompanying U.S. Army Corps of Engineers chart for Lake Dardanelle.
The lake level, which got as low as 337.29 feet above sea level yesterday at 2 p.m., was up to 337.53 at 7 a.m. today. That’s a rise of .24 on a river system lake where that’s equivalent to a six-inch difference on a typical hydropower dam impoundment.
