Hey all,
This is something that has me a bit concerned, and I am sure others have thought about this already. I wanted to see what everyone thought about how the local small rivers would be this spring. To me, not having the normal snow pack to our north to provide melt off in the spring is really going to hurt the amount of water in our smaller rivers making some of them near impassible in places. I suppose all we can do is hope for above average rain fall, but it seems to me that a hard rain really only effects the level of the river in a positive way for maybe 5-7 days before falling again. Last year with all the snow, it seemed the rivers stayed perfect well in to mid-late summer even with limited rainfall due to a slow and steady supply of melt of in early spring and then the right amounts of rain. Is this a conern to anyone else? Maybe I am over thinking this, but I sure hope I am wrong. Otherwise it could require some travel to larger rivers for me...
