It was a little chilly today, but the river’s coming up a bit -probably from yesterday’s heat. Long Draw is open now at 27 cfs, and the diversions are increasing bit by bit. Let’s hope the cool weather keeps it steady, there’s not much snow left up there! It’s great to be back on the Poudre, let’s hope it lasts a while!
