There is much more water behind Anderson Ranch Dam than in an average year. Usually in the winter the water should be draining from the reservoir but this year and last year the water coming into the pool has been enough to match the 300 cfs outflow.

A cleansing flow for the river bed. Also higher flows which makes wading and floating a more complicated situation.
