We had a really fun day paddling at just over a foot on the rock. Long Draw is dropping right now so get up there in the morning if you want some October Poudre!

Curt and I stared at it a bit and decided it was about 0. Perhaps more if you were feeling extremely optimistic. Still a great day for a full Narrows run. Though we decided Middle was much bonier below Green Bridge than above it.
All in all a fun day with some new lines and lots of rock avoidance. Figured a few photo’s would be nice for a change. Not many action shots though.
Curt putting on in the middle of the channel... Nahh, it's not low
Stay loose and think light thoughts....
And the boof is out.... still good fun

Didn’t get a chance to logon earlier but since it appears the water has held since Saturday, the reading should still be accurate.
Still lots of water up there. Joe Wright’s not full, but a lot more than typical and Lake Granby’s quite high for this time of year (marina’s still functioning!). Could be a good October for boating.

Well apparently I didn’t read the flows right yesterday and missed that Long Draw was opened up some more, and yet more today.
Good boofs were had by all up on the Narrows today. Bridges looked like it was getting some good use today too.

A nice 1.2 feet for a nice relaxing float down Poudre Park/Bridges. Can’t really complain for September 16, though I suspect some of that flow is due to rain so I’m guessing ~1′ for the weekend.

Sadly I haven’t been up the Poudre as much as I should recently. Didn’t make it up Tuesday night, but the report from friends hitting up the Narrows was ~1.2. Hard to believe it’s that good in mid-September.
Don’t put them boats away yet

Heard someone on the Buzz was lookin’ for the Rock Report. Looks like it’s anywhere between 1.7 and 1.75. Bon apatite!
Speaking of Buzz, Sustain-A-Buzz at the Mish this Sunday with the first (hopefully) annual Sustain-A-Bash! This fundraiser for the Sustainable Living Fair is Sunday 4pm-8pm and will feature Futaba, Acidophiles and Frogs Gone Fishing and is presented by Spokes Buzz and the Mish. Come on down for some great music, tons of fun and Sustain your Buzz!

It’s starting to feel like fall in the canyon, so grab your splash jacket and get some Poudre while you still can!

Unless we get a water event or something changes, this will most likely be my last transmission for the 2011 Season. It has been great. Looking forward to seeing you all next season! Let it SNOW!

Sorry for my absence, I’ve been stuck in a very good, but time consuming HazMat class all week. Thanks to Randy and John for keeping the Report current!

It might be dropping a little bit, but it’s August 24 and it’s not .8 yet! It looks like the Joe Wright release stopped yesterday, which might be responsible for the decline.

John, you were right, it was closer to 1.95 yesterday. Today a “true” 1.9!

There might be a little fluctuation going on throughout the day between my viewing and Tony’s, but I definitely saw paint on the 2 foot line today. Seems to be staying at about the same level. Anyone know the gatekeeper at Chambers Lake? Joe Wright is releasing 60 cfs and the Laramie Poudre Tunnel is fluctuating like it does before it raises or lowers its flow. We could see a change by the weekend, keep your fingers crossed for an increase.

Droppin, but still above 2.
News about Ripper Rock at Tunnel- Ranger Rob and the USFS asked me to let y’all know they intend to mitigate this threat in the off season when it’s feasible to access the rock. They respectfully ask John Q. Citizen to resist the temptation to smash up the rock themselves. It will be taken care of. I scouted the rock this morning and it is pokin its head up. It looks gnarly! I will let you know when the rock has been “fixed”.

May be as low as 2.1. Currently 59.2F, sunny and calm. On your way up and down the canyon today, stop by the Poudre Canyon cook-out at Ted’s Place. Proceeds benefit the VFD and the community you play in.
Don’t forget Ripper Rock in Tunnel (scroll down for details). If you want to escape the madness of New West Fest, head to the Mish for the madness of Dark Star!! Should probably see some old school boaters.
A paddle mysteriously appeared at Camp Falbo. Anybody have intel on this? Anybody know which human belongs to the paddle? An accurate description wins the prize…

WARNING * TUNNEL DANGER ALERT * WARNING
Aug 05th by Camp Falbo
A handful of Emergency Services personnel and Commercial Outfitters met this morning at the Tunnel Rapid to assess the hazard. We have come to the determination the hazard is a rock that has either rotated, moved or been split. This feature is a BOAT RIPPER, with four known casualties. The rock in question is right in the middle of the line most boaters use at the bottom of Tunnel Rapid! The rock is not visible at river level until you are right on it, due to a large wave just above it. We are unable to remove this hazard.
Scout the rapid before you boat it. Let’s start at the very bottom- The very last hole in Tunnel is River Center, slightly right. Many boaters use this hole to slow and rotate the boat before they hit the wall. Others skirt the hole to the left- THIS IS WHERE THE RIPPER IS! From the last hole in Tunnel the RIPPER ROCK is approx 6 feet up stream and approx 10 feet left (towards center). It’s just below another wave. When you scout from the road you can see an air pocket behind the sharp edge.
If you value your boat- RUN LEFT at bottom of Tunnel Rapid. This may take you right into the eddy river left, but that’s OK at his level- it’s easy to get out of. You can run right of the last hole, but it’s more likely to dump passengers on that run.
Boat safe, and if you’re going to run Upper Mish I encourage you to scout the bottom of Tunnel Rapid and run left.
