2011 SALMON RIVER - SALMON AND STEELHEAD Thread

[bass on]

      Good to meet you man... there leaving it at 1800...Wow!!  Guess that 4200  over the weekend had nothing to do with rain ... they were just draining it down for some reason....good luck on our part this week I guess  .....  I'll take it!!!

       Fished for an hour across the street just before dark at the Wires and school, one little brown, some fallfish and a quick hook up, that's it...Had guests that did pretty decent today at another spot, but said they worked all day for them...

snagger they kept the river up cause they knew i was coming up.  notice when i was about to leave they were dropping it...lol

     Sounds like they picked a number out of a hat with rain in the forecast because it was Friday and they don't work weekends. Stocking is getting close as well , maybe they were preparing for a big drop to 335 which is now interupted....who knows, they got me confused this year...

    Well the reservoir is full..full... hope we don't get alot of rain this weekend being they are still running less water then is coming in...  very wet up there, little evaporation with the cold temps... Looks like the weekend could be a bust, hope we get lucky.

365123 THE SALMON RIVER AT LIGHTHOUSE HILL
PUBLISHED ON APR 21, 2011 AT 17:47:14 - EXPIRES APR 22 9:00 PM

 

For the Salmon River at Brookfield Renewable Power's Lighthouse Hill Dam, Altmar, NY. The following predictions are for flows in the river just below the powerhouse unless otherwise noted.

Information about the timing of water level changes downstream of the powerhouse is included after the forecast.

Spill gates have been closed but stations are still at maximum output due to significant flows. Do not venture into the water until flows have receded further.

Flows have now receded to within station discharge capabilities and spill gates have been closed, but stations are still at maximum output due to significant flows. Be especially alert and use extreme caution near the river.


Until 9:00 PM today, 1,800 CFS
From 9:00 PM today until 9:00 PM tomorrow, Fri, 1,500 CFS

All published flows are approximate and forecasts are estimated based upon anticipated energy demand and costs in addition to weather conditions. Actual flows will vary and can change quickly at any time. Stay alert and wear an approved flotation device. Never go in or near the water until you know and accept the risks you are assuming by entering this area!
