Temporary drawdown of Rainbow Reservoir (here we go again)

Rainbow Reservoir will begin to be lowered Sunday, August 1, 2010

at 0600 hours and will continue until Tuesday, August 3, 2010. The water level will be lowered 12 to 15 feet. The project should be completed Tuesday, August 3, 2010. All generation will cease when the project is completed. It is expected to take four days to reach normal operating water levels due to low river flows.

thanks for the info....guess that place is off the list for this week.

May be going up to that area to see wife off on a plane for a few days. Think it will be back to normal?

Dunno...according to their predictions, it should be good.
I assume you are taking a boat of some sort.

Does that mean shore fising is not a good idea?

Shore fishing can be done in and around the boat ramp area, however fishing the shore line away from that area looks like it might be a chore on foot.

I stopped by Rainbow 2 weeks ago and noticed a sign to the side of the boat launch. It said that they would be dropping the level again in September as well. Looks like they are planning on doing this monthly.
