Date: Sunday, February 25th, 2007

By: Natalie Jensen

Today’s Weather:

The weather was so much nicer today than yesterday. We had mostly sunny skies with highs around 60 degrees. We had a little chill to the air today and no wind! Lows were in the mid 20’s.

 

Today’s River Flows:

Releases from Glen Canyon Dam in February, 2007 on Mondays and Fridays will vary between a low of 8,500 cfs to a high of 14,500 cfs. On Saturdays, release fluctuations will vary between a low of 8,500 cfs to a high of 14,000 cfs. On Sundays, release fluctuations will vary between a low of 8,500 cfs to a high of 13,000 cfs.
. 

Today’s Fly Fishing:

Fishing was tough for most today. We took several good reports however. The best fishing was late afternoon once the winds died down. The flies that were producing were a mix. Carry glo bugs, san juans, scuds, and very small black midges.

 

 

Today’s Walk-in Fishing:

No new reports received today. As of late it is hard to locate the fish in this section. Glo bugs, scuds, and san juans are recommended.

 

 

Spin Fishing Report:

This is the latest report received. Fishing with plenty of lead and bouncing you offering near the bottom of the river is effective, while using red san juans, and large egg patterns.

 

 

Projected River Flows:

Releases from Glen Canyon Dam in February 2007 will be lower. The scheduled releases during February will be 9,000 cfs from 5AM to 14,500 cfs to 7PM. A total of 605,000 acre-fee (an average of 10,900 cfs) are scheduled to be released in February 2007. Releases in March 2007 are scheduled to be 600,000 acre-feet for the month (an average of 9,800 cfs).
 

 

 

Fishing Forecast:

The lower water levels of February could be very good for the current fishing as of late. The recent river flows of 9,000 cfs to 17,500 cfs have proposed some challenge. At various riffles the trout haven’t been as accessible. They have been out of reach in some places. Therefore lower water could provide potential at finding fish in shallow riffles. Especially as the midge hatches become more prolific.
