Rivers across the Roaring Fork Watershed continue to flow well below average at 15-38% of normal for this time of year. Hot air temperatures and extremely low flows are increasing stream temperatures. Over the last week, the weekly high temperature jumped by 3.6°F  to 64.6°F in the Roaring Fork River in Glenwood Springs, and by 2.3°F to 62.4°F in the Roaring Fork River in Emma.  Warmer water contains less dissolved oxygen, stressing aquatic organisms including trout. To protect the fishery, anglers are reminded to carry a thermometer and stop fishing when water temperatures reach 68°F. Grizzly Reservoir, located on Lincoln Creek Road, is currently being drained for maintenance work on the dam outlet structure. The reservoir will not be available for public recreation this year. Water and fire restrictions are in place throughout the Roaring Fork Watershed. Visit www.roaringfork.org/drought for details.
