RMA Poudre Rock Report

Pine View <1.0 on 4/18

By

Boaters and Anglers,
I know you are all getting restless and eager to get wet. This message is to serve two purposes- 1) let you all know we are still here and getting ready for what should be a great season, and 2) let you all know of a hazard that is in the River at this point in time.

1) We will begin reporting on a regular basis in the next couple of weeks. As of today, we are holding steady at 0.9 on the Rock. We may see a significant spike after this weekend, as we may be looking at sunny and warm- at least in the Fort.

2) There is a large man-made plastic object with metal pipes sticking out of it in the Riv. This object is in the beginning of the Bridges Run. Specifically, it is at the top of the Right-Hand-Bend just above the straights above the Grey Rock Bridge. Currently it is under water, but has a metal pipe facing directly upstream. Early Season Boaters- use extreme caution. Adding to the problem, it is not in a good place to scout from the road, as it’s even with the (newer) guard rail- again please use caution if you scout.

We are currently working with several agencies to come up with a plan to remove this object, but no promises there. In the mean time we will keep an eye on it and alert the community if there are any changes.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. Stay safe.

Pineview <0.25ft Sunday 9/13

At noon I optimistically called it 0.3, Looking at it at 6:30pm,looked a bit lower. Still above 0, but getting harder to tell.

I’m going to say:
0.3ft => ~2.4ft/258cfs @Hewlett

Canyon Mouth was ~55cfs and 2.84ft

Pineview at ~1.5ft noon and 5pm Sunday 9/6

Looked like 1.5- on the drive up at noon and was at the top of 1.5 when floating by at ~5pm. Grab it while it’s here, lots of good fun out there (really!). Saw lots of picnickers today, very few boaters.

Hewlett Gauge: 3.08ft, 492cfs
Canyon Mouth: 3.37ft, 214cfs

For those of you who may run Poudre Park, watchout for the log between the pourover rock (center right) just below the last bridge above Cardiac and the rock just upstream and left of it. The common center line is blocked by a 6-8″ diameter log. At 1.1ft it was clearly out of the water, right now it is just under the water and not visible upstream. It could make for an unhappy day if you hit it. Far right, or one of the doors on the left work fine.
