Was dry in 2015. Water comes from Chain Lakes via Willow Creek???

 

Gonna be runoff this spring.

 

Maybe letting flows run downstream to protect the 13-spine-spotted-dace-darter which someone had decided is a "species of concern...so I can get a job studying it for 30 years." Such a cynical ***hole I am.

I agree about the runoff-- should be a good one this year. It's 10:20pm Clive, what's an old fart like you doing up this late? Actually, what am I doing up this late?

It is a irrigation dam designed for draw downs. For that reason, at best it will be a crappy fishery.

Or the dam could still be leaking.
