South Fork 3-5-19

Flow out of Palisades Dam was raised late Friday from about 900 cfs to 2400 cfs. This reflects USBurRec belief that a big run-off season is coming and room in Palisades Reservoir ( now about 85% full) is needed to contain the resulting melt.  More flow increases are likely, and these will impact fishing.  But the higher flows are very beneficial to resident salmonids which had a tough winter enduring low flows.
