Little South Fork: Low (all the indicator rocks at the confluence were well above water)

Spencer Heights: Medium (2.8ft on Sportsman’s gauge @ noon with roughly 50cfs coming down the Laramie Tunnel)

Big South: High.. last notch on the painted rock gauge (Long draw gate is still closed though)

Currently 68.9F, expected high of 78F. Mostly sunny now with clouds rolling in around 1400 and Isolated T-Storms after 1700. Have fun.

Photos from Spencer Heights from earlier the weekend. This run is at an optimal flow right now. The water’s cold, so dress warm and paddle safe:
