Fellas,

I just got in from Tanycomo in MO and stopped by the White river below Beaver lake. It too is blown out as they are running full bore. Although I have never been to the lower mountain fork I understand that there is a section that is fishable even when they release water. It may be your best bet over the next few days. After the local lake get below the flood pool they should resume more normal operations so keep an eye on the releases, you may get lucky and can fish the Lower Illinois.
