A couple strainer warnings.
*There is a strainer on river left in golf course, it has shifted to a downstream position, and may cut free.
*There is a strainer on river left in the middle of Poudre Park (she was a leaner the last few years). It’s just above the Bridge to Nowhere, and above that rapid the rafts like to run. Well, she fell in the drink this year, and we haven’t had a chance to get her out yet.
*For the upper river runners, there is a bank to bank strainer right at Arhers
*And another river right strainer right around Black Hollow. It completely cuts of the Riv right channel, on an island, and river left is open.

Currently 52˚F, overcast and expecting rain.
