FLOW SPIKE ON THE SOUTH FORK BOISE

Anderson Ranch Reservoir is full and the discharge has been raised to 3,500 cfs.  This flow spike can be expected to match inflow for the next several days and weeks.  A refreshing high flow in the South Fork Boise will help expose some previously covered river bed and hopefully expose some potential spawning gravels for next year.  High flows may also keep didymo growth in check.

Boating flows now on the South Fork Boise.

After six months of 300 cfs fall/winter flows released into the South Fork Boise River the storage of water in Anderson Ranch Reservoir has now emerged above the average, and is much more than where things stood one year ago.

South Fork Boise flows are now at 600 cfs.
