Weekly River Report

July 10, 2025 - 

Summary: 

Rivers in the Roaring Fork Watershed are flowing 19-57% of normal for this time of year. As a reminder, “average” flows will register at 100% of normal, so current flows are well below average. As most rivers in the watershed continued to decrease over the past week, releases from Ruedi Reservoir increased 100 cfs. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service requested these release increases to support endangered fish recovery efforts in the 15-Mile Reach of the Colorado River. The Roaring Fork Watershed has had below average precipitation every month since November 2024. Coupled with unseasonably hot and dry conditions, drought conditions continue to intensify, increasing wildfire danger. Anglers are reminded to reel it in when water temperatures reach 68F to protect the fishery.
