Archives for July 2024

Last day of July and we have dipped below 1.5! We have long seasons, and we have short seasons.

Huge shout out to Marty Bell, co-creator of the Poudre Rock Report. He had a milestone birthday yesterday and many of the who’s who of the boating community was at his celebration. Happy Birthday Marty!! To many more to come, and lots of River miles in between!

Currently 58˚F, hazy/overcast and calm.
