I'm just wondering if anyone knows why CUWC decided to suddenly flood Diamond Fork and how long it will likely last. Couldn't find anything on their website. I guess I could call if I get time during working hours. Looking at USGS data it all looks to becoming out of Strawberry Tunnel as the flows right above Syar tunnel on 6th Water bumped from 40 to an unprecedented 200 cfs. Rarely kayakers will do 6th below Strawberry Tunnel. It's pretty amazing for such a small creek if you ever get to see them run it. While these flows may make that class 4 /5 run into class 6 it sure sucks for the fishing. Here's a youtube of yaks on the upper run known as Unborn Soul . Flows looks to be about a measly 30-35 cfs during the filming so you can imagine what 200 cfs must be like.
