pineview at 1.25 @7pm

1.25 +/- a bit. Can’t believe it’s September with decent water on the Poudre!

Pineview at 0.5 at noon

But hey, Pineview, Bridges and Narrows are still runnable if you find the right lines! Filter on the other hand is walkable, as tubers were proving.

Pineview at 0.6 at 6pm

Concensus was 0.6 on the drive up. Time to work on your rock dodging skills and think light thoughts!

pineview 1.2 at 6pm

Slightly lower today, but much cooler on the river than in town.

Pineview at ~1.3 at 6:10pm

I’ll call it 1.3 plus or minus, didn’t get a great look on the way up and too dark on the way down. But it’s gone down from Sunday, though still good boating to be had up there.

Pineview at 1.4 at 6:20pm

someone turned the water back on again, get it while it’s still back up!

Pineview 0.9 at 6pm

Time to bring out them rock boats. Lots of tubers were walking downstream on Filter Plant Saturday since floating all of it was impossible. Water’s being pulled out of the diversion below BTO so Bridges was better than 50ish CFS reported at the canyon mouth.

Pine View 1.8 at 1100 today

Pineview at 1.4 at ~6:15pm

I’m not quite ready to give up playing on the water, so updates should still occur for at least a few more weeks. Thanks Tony for the great updates throughout the season.

This may be my last broadcast for our boating community this year. As the Riv drops, we trade the boatin brain bucket for the motorcylin brain bucket. It’s been a great Riv season! I look forward to seeing you all next year. However, I will let you know if anything changes…

Big South update
Posted on Mountainbuzz by deepsouthpaddler

As of today (fri), the water supply guys still plan on turning long draw up to 200 cfs tomorrow around mid day. Should stay that way through the weekend. If they get rain and thunderstorms this afternoon, they might not need to turn it up, but they think thats a small chance. They will make a final determination sat morning. Hopefully I’ll be able to post tomorrow am before folks start the drive if flows aren’t coming up. I’ll try to get something on the buzz by 8am.

Pine View 3.0+

Riding the upper part of the Bar we’re back to 3+. Currently 56F, cloudy and damp. Today…Cloudy. A 20 percent chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms. Highs in the lower 60s. North winds 10 to 15 mph.

Big South Flows Update
Posted on Mountainbuzz by deepsouthpaddler

Water supply Co. turned turned down long draw outflow to 130 cfs today. Rains lowered demand for water. Current plans are to turn long draw back up to ~200 cfs on saturday. The guy that changes flows usually makes the change around 11am or noon. If you are paddling sat it will likely be worth your while to wait for a later put in to get the extra water.

For folks that don’t want the bone zone wierd creek experience… considering hiking in at corral creek. Its a short hike with a good trail and not very strenous. It drops you in just above the small foot bridge at the confluence of wierd creek and the big south proper.

Upper Canyon Flows
Posted on Mountainbuzz by YourRealDad

Long draw was releasing about 200 from my guess of the flow. I would say it was medium ish.I have ran it much lower and much higher. It was 2 and a half marks on the rock lapping the third. Joe wright was low but you could scrape down, water over the carnito boof flake but not enough to boof. Spencers was good. Wood in Fantasy Flight and Melt Down still. That melt down wood was not easy to see. Everything else is clean.

Proposed Play Park in LaPorte Needs Your Help!

Please take a couple minutes to read about the proposed whitewater park on the Poudre River near Fort Collins in Lions Park, LaPorte, CO:

http://www.poudrerockreport.com/play-parks/laporte/

Mandy Kotzman has put a great deal of time and energy towards building a whitewater play park on the Poudre River, in LaPorte. The proposal is gaining traction with the city, but requires community support before it can become a reality.

If you are in favor of a play park in the Fort Collins/LaPorte area, we are asking that you please follow the link above and send in a Letter of Support.

Thanks in advance for your support!
