<p>I’m in for both days, signed up on the link. </p>
<p>I’m pretty sure you can park at Fimfo. Might want to give them a call. </p>
<p>Jimbo,</p><p>I started seeing trout and hooking into fish about 1/2 mile below the dam and I saw several that were absolutely exceptional fish. I saw and hooked fish all the way down. I think that we are going to have a good hold over year. I’ve got a spare Watermaster if anyone is down for a float. </p>
<p> </p><p>Thanks Pat, How’s the feeding program going this summer? </p>
Thanks Jimbo,
<p>Jimbo,</p><p>Army Core put a press release out that said they expect to be 909 on Saturday the 17th. </p><p>This will be my 4th year fishing the Guadalupe and have no experience with flows above 100cfs. I’m curious to understand how the dam operates and how that impacts downstream flows. Is the intent to hold 909 at all time and they just let water over 909 go into the river until it reaches a max level for downstream safety and at that point they hold back and use up the flood storage level of 943?</p><p> </p><p>https://www.swf.usace.army.mil/Media/News-Releases/Article/4548786/us-army-corps-of-engineers-statement-on-canyon-lake/</p><p>“The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ Fort Worth District at Canyon Lake is tracking the current flooding conditions along the Guadalupe River.</p><p>Heavy rainfall fell in the Upper Guadalupe River Basin above Canyon Lake and created runoff that flowed into Guadalupe River. Those waters are currently flowing into the lake.</p><p>While Canyon Lake is used by the public for recreation purposes, the primary mission for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers with the lake is for flood risk management. The Corps of Engineers is currently holding water at Canyon Lake to lessen the risk of flood conditions in communities downstream of Canyon Dam.</p><p>“Canyon Lake is at 85 percent of its conservation pool capacity. We expect to reach the top of conservation pool by Saturday,” said Canyon Lake Manager, Brett Mazey. “It has been more than 4 and a half years since the lake has been at conservation pool. Reaching this level is a great thing.”</p><p>USACE is monitoring the situation closely and providing forecast updates to stakeholders and partners.</p><p>At this point, with the rain that has fallen, it looks like the reservoir will reach 909’ msl by Saturday, July 18.</p><p>Canyon Lake dam is performing as designed while receiving and holding the recent flood waters. There is ample storage capacity before reaching the top of flood pool at 943’ msl.”</p>
<p>Just fished the Tiber and had a great time. It’s not in the Dolomites, but the outfit I used was “Rod Society”. They have guides in a lot of areas and I think the Dolomites were one of them.</p><p>Good Luck!</p><p> </p><p> </p>

See you Saturday 🙂

Alex, Jimbo,
Do we know if it is a full or half stocking?
Are we doing a full or half stocking?
I’ll be there.
Looking forward to it!

Thanks Alex
How was the tournament? Haven’t seen the results posted anywhere.
Alex, I was thinking of the water upstream from Maricopa to the dam.
