Latest predictions from the park service/dam personnel is a 27 foot rise on the Rio Grande. The Devils and the Pecos are also getting high from last nights deluge and are rocking and rolling from what I saw. Estimate for the lake is 1131.00 level. And we are 1120 and rising every hour. They are probably going to start releasing sometime this afternoon or tomorrow. Will update as I get more information. Well James, ya got your wish for Falcon. It's coming !

Latest prediction is at level 1136.00. God only knows how much more will come down. Should have seen it on the riprap on the dam. Carp were schooling along the newly flooded rocks by the hundreds ! You could have took a pitchfork and caught all you want ! That how thick they were.

Latest level 1129.60 and rising. Release upgraded to over 3,000 CFS.

That's what I call a rise. Wish we got a little more then what we got. It will make it a little tough for the short run but really should make for a great Fall. Thanks for keeping us posted Carl!
