From the Bureau of Reclamation:

“As of November 02, 2023, the Fontenelle Reservoir pool elevation is 6497.27 feet, which amounts to 80 percent of live storage capacity. Inflows for the month of October totaled approximately 52,846 acre-feet (af) or 117 percent of average. Current release rate is set at 1,100 cfs. Winter base flow release will be set in mid-November after receiving the November forecasts. Winter base flow will be set to a constant release rate from mid-November to approximately mid-March, depending on winter icing conditions. Pending hydrology, winter releases will be approximately 1,125 cfs.

The November final forecast for unregulated inflows into Fontenelle for the next three months projects near average conditions. November, December, and January Most Probable inflow volumes amount to 45,000 af (107 percent of average), 35,000 af (109 percent of average), and 32,000 af (107 percent of average) respectively.”

What this means:

Releases from Fontenelle Reservoir are currently at 1,050 CFS.

The moss is still a concern while fishing the Green, but the colder temperatures should help it clear up over the next few weeks. There still is some decent midge and baetis activity. With the cooling temperatures the streamer bite should also begin to pick up.

Please be mindful of spawning fish.
