SNAGGING SEASON - IT'S A KICK!

SNAGGERS SNAGGED  THEIR LIMITS ON OPENING DAY OF SNAGGING SEASON (SEPT 1ST)!!

THEY ARE HERE!!  IN PRAIRIE POINT AREA.

THE  LAKE LEVEL IS DROPPING  -  DOWN ABOUT 4-5' AS OF  SEPT 1.

MCDONALD FLATS AND HEENEY MARINA BOAT RAMPS STILL OPEN FOR LAUNCHING BOATS.

DEPENDING ON HOW FAST THE WATER LEVEL RECEDES, MCDONALD FLATS  MAY CLOSE IN ABOUT A COUPLE WEEKS.  

.The reservoir was built to replace water to the Colorado River that is sent to the Front Range through the Big Thompson Project. It is a storage reservoir so the levels will flucuate as water is called for on the Western Slope.
