No member has posted conditions here lately. The gauge says what the water is doing; an angler who was standing in it says what that felt like.
Post a reportBureau of Reclamation station 393, Lake Powell Glen Canyon Dam and Powerplant. Reclamation publishes a day or two behind, so the date beside the reading is the date of record, not today. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
Readings come from Bureau of Reclamation station 393, Lake Powell Glen Canyon Dam and Powerplant. It reports reservoir elevation and storage. Reclamation publishes daily and runs a day or two behind. Readings describe the reservoir at the gauge; a shallow arm miles upstream will not match them.
The gauge is half the picture. The other half is what came out of the water: verified catches, the current record, and the anglers holding it.
