RMA Poudre Rock Report

Currently 64.3F, Sunny and calm, it looks to be a beautiful day to spend on the Riv. Expect highs in the mid 80’s, mostly sunny and some clouds rolling in this afternoon. No Precip in the forecast.

Little South: .9ft on the stick gauge @ 3:30pm. Of the two rocks next to the bent tree, the topmost rock was buried and the lower rock was a couple inches from being covered. I suspect this is a low but runnable flow.

Spencer Heights: 3.1ft @ 2:30pm with no water coming out of tunnel. This is a solid medium-high flow. Wood was not an issue.

Joe Wright: Medium-high and clean.

Big South: Top mark on the rock gauge and surging over the rock. Medium-high and rockin!

The river’s on the rise, so get it while you can. This is peak-week. Don’t miss out!!! Be safe out there and watch for moving wood.

Friday night happy hour at the put-in. Cocktail anyone?

Seems to be holding steady around 3.4 or 3.5. The canyon is beautiful right now with all the rain we’ve had lately.

Lappin’ the bottom of the 3.5 bar, it’s a high 3.4. Currently 50.3F, sunny and calm. Expect a high of 77F in the Canyon today, with partly cloudy skies moving to mostly cloudy this afternoon with our usual Isolated T-Storms rolling in around 1700 with a 30% chance of producing rain. Have fun today!!

Close to 3.6, but not quite. Currently 49.6F, sunny with some clouds and calm. High today of 73F with 30% chance T-Showers rolling in earlier today- around 1400, chances increasing to 40% later in the day. Have fun!
