Norfork Temperature
I have refrained from commenting on this because frankly I did not want to be a "sky is falling" kind of pessamist. The water temp at Cook island was 66 degrees at 6 am on friday morning. It was...

As 9:30 AM today, they have reportedly shut the floodgate down due to rising temps downstream. It sounds as if they'll at least attempt to still meet minimum flow with cold water through the turbines...

Unreal. I remember the days when there was no arrangement between the AFGC and the COE to release water when the temps went way above acceptable levels, that often caused serious mortality in the...

This is from the Corps' Facebook page: Norfork Minimum Flows Update: We have been constantly monitoring our water quality gage data and this week we have noted water temperatures edging up. Since the...

Thanks for the update. Hope they get the siphon valve welded up soon.

So if I understand correctly when the water at the lake surface exceeds what is required for cold water fisheries they will cease operations on the flood gate releases?
View ArticleRe: Norfork Temperature
Min flow is not seasonal, the lake levels are seasonal. If they do try to handle with turbine releases, just consider that likely means much more flow than the siphon and it can fluctuate. Could make...

Well at least they gave an explanation. That hasn't always been the case.

It's funny, they say they can't use turbine releases due to equipment but that's what they are doing at BSD. There is so much BS in that statement.

Saturday it was dead low, today it felt like greater flow than what had been "min. flow". Water was cold and the fish were feisty.

Like it or not fish need water and food sources, without that they are not in a healthy situation. Unlike many other tailwaters what we have here is a very different deal to many others than have more...

For anyone who hasn't heard, Corps reports that the siphon is repaired and back up and running as of today. Crisis averted. Chris
