Flows up

Unless the guage is off, the flows are way above typical it seems to me.  358?! The median is ~ 100 for the previous 52 years.  I mean, there can't be that much demand this early in the growing season can there be?  Won't they need that water later on when we've had ANOTHER year of low precipitation?!confuse

 

Not that I'm complaining for the fish - I like this level for fishing....

I'd say the gauge is on. Was up there last Monday and did pretty good, went up today and noticed the water was still murky and certain spots are almost inaccessible that were okay last week. Oh, and no fish between me and my buddy, ran into another guy up at the bridge and he had no luck either.

Get used to up and down flows-no rain means SID customers are asking for more water. If it remains dry, they will just keep going up. Pray for rain.

Flows are up around 500. That's almost the summer flows. Fishing is going to be a little more difficult now.

A good majority of this water is going to the farmers, most if not all of the canals in this area are full of water and I've been noticing farmers are beggining to irrigate now.

I guess it's good in a way. Gives the fish an early break from all the pressure they've recieved. I wonder how long it'll stay up.

It should go down by next week as long as we get sone decent rains. Sure seems early for high flows.
