There is no requirement about staying the entire time. You can come and go as you need. See everybody tomorrow.

I was hoping they would begin holding water for the recreational pool by now (910′) and cutting releases to inflows. GBRA even talked about holding water when they came to speak before WORD. So I guess I really don’t know what’s in their minds. I do know they have to lower releases to match inflows when the lake hits conservation pool of 909′.

Yes we will be stocking at the current releases which are about 760cfs now.

I don’t think any of the temp logging stations are on-line. I’ve recorded temps closer to 60 most places I’ve fished so far. I’ll talk to the board and see if we can get them reporting to our website. Right now temps are not anywhere near critical. But later in the spring and summer you will want to know water temps as things start to warm up.

Fabulous !

Flows dropped again to 360cfs and the river is really opening up to wading. That being said the easiest places to wade are: Pott’s, Little Ponderosa, Rocky Beach once you’ve crossed, Lower Rio and Bezdek’s.

Did you call Rio Raft to see if they have been turned in to the office?

There are 2 more stockings coming. Stand by for the coming announcements.

The second stocking went very well. Thank you to all those that volunteered to get these fish into the river. The fish were smaller than expected with this load averaging about 13″. But since they were smaller the numbers we stocked in the river were much higher, 4160 this time. Here are the locations that we stocked: Maricopa, Rio, #5, S Turn (not a lease site, it can be accessed going down river from #5), Pott’s. Little Ponderosa, L&L Office, Devil’s Playground, Rocky Beach, CVC, River Bank, River Bluff, Bezdek’s.

We’ll probably be somewhere south of Pott’s. So start there and drive dron River Rd till you see the Hatchery Truck.

I encourage that once there everyone double up so as to limit the traffic jam and parking along the way that is our stocking efforts. Plus you’ll get to talk to new anglers and discuss fishing the river. You’d be surprised what you can learn from another’s experiences.

Another thing that is real handy when wading in these high flows is studs in your boots. Much of the limestone is covered with algae and it is greasy. Studs bite through and into the limestone for much better footing. There are several kinds and I prefer the tungsten cloverleafs. There are also the tungsten headed screws which work pretty good too.
I am expecting GBRA to drop the flows again soon. I sure wish they would hold the lake in the recreational pool zone.

The buckets we carry the fish in from the hatchery truck to the water have rope handles. Gloves aren’t mandatory but they will save a little wear and tear on your hands. Something like heavy leather gloves you see at Home Depot or even some ski gloves, something like that.

We start around 8:30am and finish about 1pm, and you don’t have to stay for the entire stocking.
