Toad Suck Lock and Dam (Lock and Dam #8) on the Arkansas River today. The TOP of the lock is barely showing. Water is in houses on the banks, totally flooded the park, and the flow is 320,000 cubic feet per second. I won't get on the River if it exceeds 60,000 and I can't fish it unless it's around 15,000 max. I have never seen it at 320,000.

In the last picture, the FAR side of the river is the park. Those trees are on a very high bank, and many feet from normal water bank.

These are cell phone pics. I drove as close to river on old Lock road as I could get. But there's no way these really show it well.

Wanna come crappie fishing with me on the river???? LOL

Red river is gonna blow out of it's banks this weekend like it did in 1990. watch the news, Lake Texoma is dumping around 600,000 gallons of water per second into the red. Plus Deirks lake, millwood, Wright Patman and who knows what else. It's gonna get ugly for the farmers.
