Extravagant Ones:
The 2009 runoff begins, as shown graphically on this discharge graph!
Using our home-based Rock Creek as a baseline, you can see the (record low) 2007 runoff and last year's (record high) 2008 runoff history, against which we now begin plotting the 2008 runoff show. The runoff today is at a rate of 988 cubic feet per second (cfs), or roughly double of that of the last two years. Each year has its own, distinct runoff fingerprint, witnessed by the fact that portions of Montana had several feet of snow just this past week!
Let the fun begin, remembering that ideal fishing conditions for us would find the Rock Creek discharge rate right around 1850 cfs come June 20th—Opening Day of Extravaganza 2009.
"Y'all" can follow the chart and this year's runoff progress on this blog where a link to the updated chart will remain on the right-hand sidebar (scroll down to Rock Creek Discharge Report).
Best to all,
Rock Creek Ron
