The work on the Rock Creek bridge has been completed. The access road from Lake Britton to Big Bend is now open.
The weather and conditions on the river right now continue to be a little wintry here and there. The river looks to be pretty muddy on the lower end below Pit 5. The flows on Pit 3 and downstream continue to be high. Give the river a couple of weeks and it should be game on! This is a fantastic spring river!
As always, the flows on the Pit can and will change without notice, so definitely check before you go! And be prepared to get out when the river begins to rise.
Here are some useful links to monitor the flows:
Pit 3 - Below Pit 3 Dam
Pit 5 - Through Big Bend
