South Fork, June 26th, 2024

Outflow from Palisades Reservoir is normal (now about 12000 cfs at Irwin, 13000 at cfs at Heise, 5700 cfs at Lorenzo) as inflow-outflow and flooding are no longer issues. With warm weather here, the river below Palisades Dam offers more attractive fishing with big stoneflies and afternoon caddis soon to lead the parade of hatching aquatic insects. Expect boat launch facilities to become increasingly crowded from now through summer.
