Roger Phillips with the Idaho Statesman reports that the South Fork Boise River flows will likely hold steady through the weekend, and “that’s good news for waders, and boaters will get to start floating by the end of the month.

“Bureau of Reclamation water managers said they will try to hold the flows at 600 cfs through Memorial Day weekend unless river flows above Anderson Ranch Reservoir come up so much they have to release water.

“Then they will start ramping up the flows next week to around 1,600, where it should stay for most of the summer.”
