Flows

Does LADWP control the flows for the EW also? I just noticed these are blasting on up there also. From 20 cfs a couple of weeks ago to 230 cfs now. Sheesh. These flows are making winter fishing "interesting".

They raised the flows on the EW to meet the demands of the irrigators that hold water rights, down river. We took a drive down into the Nevada water on weds, and the green is just starting to sprout in the meadows. It must be springtime! So much for the dry fly fishing of the last month. It's time to dredge!
Set the hook!

Notice any, um, helicopters in the area?

From what I understand, the nevada ranchers that hold the rights to the water start flooding there fields first part of March depending on weather and how much snow pack they forsee will drain into Brigeport res. During the month of April we should see a decrease of water flow so that the res. can fill up. After the res. has filled to a predetermined level (again depending on snowpack) they will increase the flows again usually around the end of May. After that the flows should bounce around acording to their needs. This year with higher than average snowpack you should see flows to over 300 cfs.This will happen until around Oct. when the flows will drop quickly to around 20-30 cfs. By the way 20 cfs is the legal min. flow allowed. Hope this helps.

You are killing me, Jon! We fished hard weds (afternoon), and didn't even get a hit, but the water had just come up. Looks like you caught it before it spiked to 230.

It's just Jon, he has this I don't care attitude. If he knows there are fish there and he likes the place he'll step in and chuck away no matter what the conditions. All this while saying, "they're gonna eat sometime, and they still get attitudes when things invade their space." The Kern is his exception though
