From what I uderstand they had moved the flows up to help with the salmon spawning, but now they have reduced them to below 60 cfs. Does anyone know the reasonong for this??

Also at 60 cfs isn't that going to put some of the trout redds high and dry??

Steve (SK60) mentioned they would go up for about a week.  They were fluctuating from40-60cfs before that.  I think thats about the usual for winter.

Ty's right: back to 45-60  cfs for now. Won't leave redds high and dry, but the fish will move off and start over elsewhere. The higher pulse flows for the salmon are over for this year.
