Low Water for the Fall Period on Montana’s Missouri River

Lower water this fall, this October, and into the future? Look at the graph above?!?

Water management procedures and policies have changed over the past 30 years. I could go on about the individuals/current policies in place, making those decisions, but that would bore me, and you.

Bottom Line: The conservative program, holding water, is the current regime. Back in the day, 5K was the norm in winter months. Now, hold water in the reservoir(s), and let it go if needed. Less water from the skies, less water because of ag. interests, less…

So, that is the norm in our current period.

Check out water temps as they are plunging. We would like to have them pause, pause in the 50’s for a month, but that is unreasonable. Still, still can’t control the weather.

Have a good Thursday. Fall has arrived. The weather turning this next week. Streamer Fanatics Unite.

Swingers on the rise. It’s gonna happen.

Bugs on the surface? Crossing our fingers.
