[font "Verdana"][#000000]Positively amazing. What graphics, what reservoir and river data! I’m a flat water guy, so stream flows aren’t real important to me, but for those of you who fish moving water…

[font "Verdana"][#000000]The main page is like a Google Earth aerial, and on the left side of the page all bodies of water are listed. Move your cursor over one of the water bodies, and an info box shows up that has two tabs. One tab is a data format, the other is a graph. Click on the Graph tab, and it blows up (takes a while to load). Run your cursor over the stream flows and it shows you real time what’s goin on. It’s also on the Data tab, if you want just the most recently recorded flow.

Very cool!

It is always nice when someone else sifts through the information on the web for something useful.

Thanks for posting this info. I knew it was out there somewhere and I've been wandering lately how I could find it. Glad you did it for us. The Provo has been high lately, but before they started letting all that water out, I saw a few spots by my work where you could see all sorts of browns in the eddies. High flow screwed up any chances to put any sort of lure or bait in them though.

I would be interested in knowing if there is a forecast or schedule for when water flows will go back down. Do you know if there is such a thing?
