Big Lost River, July 7th, 2023

Flow out of Mackay dam is still close to 1000 cfs. That to high for safe wading. It’s an unusual situation because of run-off coming into the reservoir from above. Water is flowing even down to Arco wher years ago good fishing was possible. This high flow will end soon, and we will report such because this stream and its Copper Basin headwaters are important destinations for many fly fishers.
