The runoff this year is taking the appearance of a bleed off, gang, yet
paving the way for a spectacular Extravaganza 2015! We are right at 1,160
cubic feet per second on Rock Creek today and the chart is starting to
resemble the wonderful 2013 fishing year that we had a couple of years ago.
The slow runoff this year is a good thing as, with the earlier April push of
water downstream, the snowpack in the Bitterroot River Basin's mountains is
currently at 50% of 20 year norms, such that there is now less to run off
and the lower flow will time things perfectly for Group One's arrival now
just a tad more of a month from now.
I will send you one more update before leaving for Patagonia, Chile in the
morn for a week; my staff will continue to update you with flow reports in
my absence, during which time your homework is to review your Camp List and
to begin assembling the stash of gear and duds that you will be taking with
you to Montana. Our mantra this year is "Less is More" so keep that in mind
as you begin your annual ritual of Extravaganza packing!
Best to all, sensing the nearness of it all,
Rock Creek Ron
