Stream Conditions-August 29th, 2009










The conditions as of this morning are extreme! Falls Rd. and Glencoe gauges are very high at 1610cfs and 2620cfs, respectively. These are flood stages and are extremely dangerous to be in, but certainly captivating to see.









The excessive rains that we have had over the last week have swelled all of the local stream and Prettyboy to higher level than have been seen in a while. The view from most vantage points is impressive, but the temptation to be in the water should be avoided. There are vast numbers of logs and other debris that are moving at great speeds that can cause serious injury. The levels were even with the Masemore parking lot, and over the road at Glencoe Rd. Photos were taken at Glencoe Rd.






The river is receeding but will take several days to get to safe levels for wading and other activities. Please use great caution and check the levels via the links on the home page of this site or call the store, 410-472-6799, to determine when levels get closer to fishable.
