Statement from the Bureau of Reclamation on June 30, 2009
It appears the high elevation snowmelt is essentially over, as inflows into Canyon Ferry have declined to near 8,000 cfs and continue to decline. To continue evacuating storage from the exclusive flood pool and provide relief to the high river flows in the Missouri River downstream of Canyon Ferry Dam, the following operation changes are required at Canyon Ferry Dam and Powerplant.
7,200 cfs - Here it comes! Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
July 1
The water line visible on the side of the river bank provides proof that the Bureau of Reclamation is sticking to their plan. Down goes the river. 9,000 cfs at 10:30 pm. Caddis have already noticeably reacted. Craig was fairly quiet at 9:00 pm. There must be something worth staying on the river for. It's here.
Caddis, PMD's, Yellow Sallies, and a few Brown Drakes are all in the mix. Get ready for the river to boil. Tricos are not far away. Set your nymph and streamer rods down and give your dry fly rod a work out.
