This year I hope to get thrashed in the wave, instead of six feet behind it, trying to paddle in.

Geez, give me a break Paul! I do have a day job.

Jeremy thank you for the post..i am keeping my eye on the wave and will call you as soon as I find out the schedule for release at about 5300-5800 cfs..that is the optimum level. Can't wait to throw down!!!!!

Dierks will have water in June. But that being said I don't know what the flow will be. Would love to have you folks back!

We saw Tiffany this weekend at Dierks (works for the Corps) and I mentioned the Hometown Throwdown. She said to let her know and she would come and that if there's anything she could do, let her know.

And I know Tom would love to see everyone! We had a small crowd down there this past weekend and had a really good time. And thanks again Tom and Mrs. Trigg for the extra firewood :)

Renee, thanks! Yes we would love to see ALL of you guys. You know that you will be treated right here! I am glad that it is after Memorial day weekend for I am sure we will be packed. I am working on primitive camping for those that want it when the park is full.

Water will be released from Remmel Dam on the Ouachita River. The play wave (ledge) is downstream a few miles at Rockport. It's a class II wave. Basically anyone of any skill level can have fun at the ledge.
