Im headed out to the river tomorrow to take my boat to storage. And I wanted to know if anyone knows how low the water really is?  I have been looking at the water flow reports, and it doesnt look good....  I was going to launch at needles but not is it is too low....  Any Help? :confused

Check for Shueman's posts. He put up some recent photos.

You won't be launching at Needles unless you bring your own water...sorry. :eek

When I drove through there on President's Day weekend, all of the personal docks of homeowners were completely in the sand by a good 10-15 feet.

Before all the dams on the Colorado, that's pretty much what it would look like this time of year.  Actually most anytime but runoff season would look like that.  :eek  What's the CFS they have it at now, 2000??? 1800???

It's a good example to all the "drain the lake folks" as to what we would have to look forward to if there was no water storage on the Colorado.   :alien

There will be... Irrigation season should be in full swing by then and the run-off will have started.   :good

Just got back from Needles/Havasu last night.  It definatly doesnt look good.  Had to launch at winsor.  Mobai, Needles Marina, everything north of Havi is high and dry.  

I tried to get past Topack and the water is about 1 ft deep.  I just dont understand how the London Flier is getting trough still.  Laughlin (AVI) you can walk out half way to the center without getting your feet wet...  

NO GOOD!!! :confused  :confused  :confused
