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.

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!
Jun 30th by frenchy
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!

Upper Canyon Update
Jun 18th by RiverWrangler
Things dropped off considerably since mid week in the upper canyon.
Big South – 4inches showing on gauge rock. Lapping just above the top line. Nice manageable high level if they would just open the stinking gate.
Joe Wright – low to too low for me. Fan rock boof in Carnito was not in with water only barely flowing over the right edge. Definite boat abuse at best.
Spencer Heights – still at a nice level. Pretty perfect medium flow for multiple laps (what we did this evening). My guess was around 3.2 on the “old” Sportsmans gauge with no Tunnel input.
Also – Whiteline has DEFINITELY changed! I think we lost our choicest boof on the Front Range. It’s a sad day in the Fort today but who knows, maybe it will be sweet… hard to tell.

JW-Spencer Shots from today and I think Whiteline changed
Jun 16th by RiverWrangler
The Joe Wright/Spencer Heights combo IS in. JW is a solid medium high/high and Spencer was approximately 3.5 on Sportsman’s with no tunnel. Two new pieces of wood to avoid on Joe Wright. One will require a portage at even slightly lower flows. This wood is early in the run below Carnito but above the main action and blind corners. It is a notorious wood collecting spot where the left channel was open the last few years and where the right channel was a sneak a number of years ago. Neither of these were open today but there was tiny bit of water going through the far right channel. There is an o.k. eddy on the right and then spot the knuckle dragging channel through some leggy bushes.
The other new wood is just below all of the main corner action. It looks river wide from above but you can pretty easily get around it on the left.
Spencer Heights is the goods with no woods.
Whiteline appears to have changed. Not sure what happened but the high water definitely re-arranged some stuff at the bottom elongating the main drop. Interested to see what it will look like at lower flows.

Little South Fork: Juicin (HIGH)!
Our group of 8 ran the Little South Fork yesterday. We faced 2 mandatory strainer portages in the upper section of the run, and a mostly clear channel through the main drop. Due to visible wood and some uncertainty about possibly more wood under the water surface, we all opted for the portage route on the main drop. At yesterday’s flow the run is busy and committing read-and-run class IV/IV+, with a class V’ish spike for the main drop. As always, heads up for new wood and be prepared for a wilderness adventure!

- Little South Fork rock gauges at the confluence with the main stem. Both rocks next to the leaning tree are completely burried. The wood gauge at the confluence was reading ~2′. The putin gauge was under water, and the gauge a half-mile into the run (the one after the first confluence) was showing ~70. Water level was on the high side of good.
