3 February 2025 “Bunger valve now open”‼️‼️.

[HEN]

At 9:30 am they opened the bunger valve. River is not wadeable!!  The lake is at 545 feet.  It will take at least 21 days to get the lake back to the target level of 534 feet. Gonna be another long dry spell for fishing on the lower Lil' Mo'. We all knew it was coming.

I would like to give the Corp 3 atta boys and 2 thumbs up 👍👍 for not opening the bunger valve until the fly festival had ended!!  Also a big thanks to all the people who worked so hard to put on the festival and to the ALTO fly fishing club. I think it was a huge success.
