Category: Chatfield Water Release Announcements

These low multi-day partial releases are a prime example of why the S Platte River needs some sort of recreational/environmental Voluntary Flow Management Program (VFMP) like the Arkansas Head Water Recreation Area does for the Arkansas River (BV and Salida). Speaking of Salida…. See pic below at Scout yesterday with CPW law enforcement officer giving […]

Same as yesterday. Possible rain on the radar. Park Rangers at Scout are checking for Coast Guard Approved pfd’s for surfing. Not tickets Saturday issued, just warnings. Have a back up pfd with Coast Guard labels if you are going to surf Scout from here out. LBK

Hmmm… Will do a weekend surf forecast later today. LBK

Dog days of summer are upon us. Still hope for one last Chatty good flow before the season ends but not holding my breath. Will be up at Scout this evening for a couple of days. Come surf with me. LBK

Sixx will be excellent for a few hours and then will need a tune for still some fun smaller surf. LBK
