The Bureau of Reclamation has an important safety announcement for all planning to spend time on or near the Green River. The Bureau announced that from May 15th to the 17th, the water released from Flaming Gorge Dam will increase, with a full spring release of 4,600 cubic feet per second. “This will result in swifter currents and lower water temperatures,” shares the announcement. “The Green won’t be the only river running high this weekend. Please be very cautious if you plan to fish a river or stream in the coming weeks.” The following are some safety tips from the DWR for stream fishing: Remember that water tends to be swifter than it looks. Always use caution before attempting to wade in a stream. Bring a friend along when you are fishing or enjoying other recreational activities around water. There’s safety in numbers. If you are unable to bring a friend, always tell someone where you are going and when you plan to return home.
