I got a text from my good friend who lives in the area of the reservoir and he confirmed the recent wind and weather has taken ALL the ice off of Starvation. The main State Park ramp is now available to launch boats. Let the games begin!
Cold muddy water is pouring into the reservoir in the Knight Hollow end of the lake, so it may be awhile before the walleye spawn and then begin feeding actively again.

Whick doesn't make sense to me because they are also dropping the level down to make room for the runoff when it warms up.
Why pour all of the silt into there reducing the lake capacity when you're dumping water in the first place?

I don't know for sure, but I would think they have to "bleed" runoff from the canal system just like any other body of water so they can handle the coming high volumes of runoff.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]You shouldn't feel alone on this ABN. The vast majority of users of our resources don't have a clue as to why seemingly contradictory processes (filling and emptying a reservoir at the same time) occur at the same time. If you really want to know, the people to ask would be the water owner and/or the water manager for area of interest - in this case Starvation. The owner is the Bureau of Reclamation out of Provo and the operator is Central Utah Water Conservancy District out of Orem. I've called and talked with these folks in the past and find they are very helpful and willing to share their knowledge with us lay folks. Give 'em a call and let us know what you find out. 👌
