Spikes in Flows
Permalink  
 


There have been a couple of flow spikes lately.  Are they trying to blow out the silt?  It's pretty heavy at the top of the resort.

Careful when wading guys, I stepped in some silt and sunk almost to my knees, Not good when your not expecting it.

Was there above bridge today-not enough of a spike to stir anything up, including the fish (0/0), but did watch the Bike tour flash by in about 60 seconds, including their 40 car entourage. Saw one other fisherman there and one car along the road, so not much pressure today.

39 cfs!  I think that's the lowest I've seen the flows.  I hope the trout fry are okay with these flows.

Boy, you are right about the silt above the resort JT.  I was up there a couple of weeks ago and couldn't believe how deep I sank on every step.  It was a nice clean rock bottom in the fall.  Hopefully the summer flows will move that out.

The silt is above the resort? I hear that silt will suffocate the fry, is it far enough above the resort that it's effecting the redds up there?

The silt came in from the creek at the top of the resort (near the island).  It's pretty ugly.
