Mix know two people that went today, flow still way down 60/70 feet of viz. they did one dive at catfish and one at Friedman, they said the flow was definitely more noticeable upstream at Friedman but still done compared to normal

Was at Manatee today (Catfish Hotel). Flow is the lowest I've ever experienced there. Vis was easily 60'-70'. Amazing to see all the way across the passages with the 12w LM! I couldn't believe how high the water is--the handrail on the lower boardwalk by the headspring is completely submerged--and no visible boil. Great day of diving!

Pics please
Here's some pics....
The first picture is near the canoe launch area--note the signs way out....
The second picture is the flood level "story pole". The water is just below the 2004 flood marker (and the water line looks like it was about at that level in the last day or so).
The third pic shows the lower level along the spring (you can just make out the top of the hand rail in the tanic water).
The last picture is towards the head spring--no visible boil.
