San Juan River - Freshwater Fishing Report
Hello Everyone,
Due to lack of snowfall so far this winter, the Bureau of Reclamation
will be decreasing the release from Navajo Reservoir from 500 cubic feet
per second (cfs) to 350 cfs, at 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, January 17, 2006.
The release rate will be re-evaluated as inflow forecasts are updated.
Releases are made for the authorized purposes of the Navajo Unit, and to
attempt to maintain a target base flow through the endangered fish
critical habitat reach of the San Juan River (Farmington to Lake
Powell).
This scheduled release change is subject to changes in river flows and
weather conditions. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Page
at (970) 385-6560 or e-mail him at [email protected].
