Glad to see SC coming back. I have never fished their and would like to check it out sometime. I did read on AZGFD website in the reports that Alamo was  filling with all the water we got. It says that the core is not draining the right now and they won't no until mid October.

looks like the gauge at alamo lake that it picked up just under 2' of water regrettably and flows are down to nothing now, seems like it should of got more water than that but the big sandy and santa maria river have such a long ways to go through the desert to get to the lake it just doesn't seem to get there often.

It looks like Powell is catching some of that Colorado water, it's on the way up instead of going down. SC in 16 sound good to me if they don't drain it by then.

some guy from the CAP was on the radio yesterday and said Powell and the colorado river would not pick up much water from the flooding rains in Colorado as it is on the other side of the rockies but powell is probably picking up water from the san juan river out of New Mexico as they have been getting hammered and had some flooding issues also, he did say Mead picked up some water from runoff of storms in California?

this is from weekly fishing report from g and f, looks like alamo got a total of 2' of water but now is dropping again :(



ALAMO LAKE – Sept. 17 report from Mark Knapp, Park Ranger at Alamo Lake State Park:
Well folks, all said and done, the lake rose approx 2 feet. This brought the lake level to 1,093 with releases of 25 cfs. We have already watched the lake drop a few inches due to evaporation and releases. It was fun while it lasted. This will also help keep Cholla Ramp in operation for a couple of more months.
