Friends:
In an effort to control the rate of fill, which seems to be a real and perpetual struggle the last eight years and made worse when starting runoff with inadequate available storage, Reclamation is making the following changes to Bighorn releases:
On Friday at 8 p.m., river releases will increase 750 cfs, bringing releases
from 5,500 cfs to 6,250 cfs.
On Saturday at 8 p.m., river releases will increase another 750 cfs, bringing
releases from 6,250 cfs to 7,000 cfs.
Note these changes will be made at 8 p.m. both evenings.
Wade fishing is impractical and very unsafe at flows above 6,500 cfs. Fishing from a boat is still safe for experienced oarsmen, but the best advice is to contract the services of an experienced guide that can get you down river safely and also put you on fish all day.
Have fun and be safe. Any questions, please contact matt@forrestersbighorn.com
