Big South update
Posted on Mountainbuzz by deepsouthpaddler

As of today (fri), the water supply guys still plan on turning long draw up to 200 cfs tomorrow around mid day. Should stay that way through the weekend. If they get rain and thunderstorms this afternoon, they might not need to turn it up, but they think thats a small chance. They will make a final determination sat morning. Hopefully I’ll be able to post tomorrow am before folks start the drive if flows aren’t coming up. I’ll try to get something on the buzz by 8am.

Riding the upper part of the Bar we’re back to 3+. Currently 56F, cloudy and damp. Today…Cloudy. A 20 percent chance of showers and afternoon thunderstorms. Highs in the lower 60s. North winds 10 to 15 mph.

Big South Flows Update…
Posted on Mountainbuzz by deepsouthpaddler

Water supply Co. turned turned down long draw outflow to 130 cfs today. Rains lowered demand for water. Current plans are to turn long draw back up to ~200 cfs on saturday. The guy that changes flows usually makes the change around 11am or noon. If you are paddling sat it will likely be worth your while to wait for a later put in to get the extra water.

For folks that don’t want the bone zone wierd creek experience… considering hiking in at corral creek. Its a short hike with a good trail and not very strenous. It drops you in just above the small foot bridge at the confluence of wierd creek and the big south proper.
