Anyone know when this runs? I hear 150-200 cfs. is perfect.

Last year it ran really well in October for two weeks. The only reason it ran well then was due to construction up on the dam, or culverts in Estes..

I think 150 200 is still low. It ran 400 - 600 in October and it seemed pretty good in that area...

It is up right now... They stopped diverting a lot of the water to Horestooth, so I can see the level as I drive to work. The web site (MTN Buzz) says it is at 50cfs, but it looks a little better than that from the road.

Keep your eye on it. It usually comes up earlier than other runs. It will run for about a month before they shut it off. I thnk mid may to mid June is when it goes. I will run it when it is above 250 cfs
