BUREAU OF RECLAMATION NAVAJO RESERVOIR SPRING PEAK RELEASE SCHEDULE May 8, 2008 SENT VIA
FAX AND E-MAIL Due to decreasing inflow forecasts and after conferring with the US Fish and Wildlife Service, the release pattern and duration of the spring peak release has been modified. In the last Navajo Release Notification (dated May 5, 2008), we announced that the
Bureau of Reclamation would begin ramping up the release from Navajo Reservoir beginning May 9, 2008. That scheduled change has been cancelled. Releases will continue at the present rate of 2,200 cubic feet per second (cfs) through the weekend of May 9th, 10th and 11th. The release will be decreased from 2,200 cfs to 1,000 cfs on Monday, May 12th. The release will remain at 1,000 cfs until Monday, May 19th, when it will be increased to 2,000 cfs. The release will remain at 2,000 cfs until Friday, May 23rd, when it will be increased to 3,000 cfs. The release will remain at 3,000 cfs through Monday, May 26th. On Tuesday, May 27th, releases will be increased to 4,000 cfs and the following day, Wednesday, May 28th, releases will be increased to 5,000 cfs. Beginning on Thursday, June 19th, the release will begin to be gradually decreased until it reaches 500 cfs on Wednesday, July 2nd. At various times throughout the spring peak release, the release will be temporarily reduced in order to accommodate required inspections of the
outlet works. These inspections are tentatively planned to occur on June 10th, and the week of June 23rd. Additional notices will be provided in advance of each of these inspections. Adjustments may be made to the spring peak release duration if the inflow forecasts change. Reclamation will provide updates to the release schedule if any changes occur. Releases are made for the authorized purposes of the Navajo Unit, and to attempt to meet flow recommendations for the endangered fish in the San Juan River. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Page at (970) 385-6560 or e-mail him at. The San Juan river fishes well at all levels. At 4000 cfs the river is still wadable in some areas. You have to be careful and you aren't going to fish the back side of the river. The higher flow will concentrate the fish, not spread them out. We catch a lot of fish at the higher flows. With a guide is the best way to fish the high water, but you can rent a drift boat also. New Mexico fishing license. 1 day $17.00 5 day $29.00 $61.00 non-resident season. New Mexico Resident $30.00.
