For all of you that like to fish Diamond Fork and it's tribs, class 6 whitewater just ended a few minutes ago -44 cfs out of Strawberry Tunnel. I kept forgetting to call during business hours so I emailed today and got a reply. Ands heads up when higher flows are needed later they'll shoot up above normal out of Strawberry Tunnel partially to meet the need. Here's their reply
Paul,
I'm not sure if you are aware that we have been performing work on the valves at the Sixth Water Flow Control Structure. The valves have been taken off line and as a result we have used the Strawberry Tunnel for deliveries. One valve will be back in service soon and the other will be operation in the fall. By copy of this email I am notifying others who can provide you with additional information.

One valve is back in service as of a few minutes ago. Flows above minimums are being transferred through the night and into tomorrow to the structure at the mouth of Diamond Fork canyon. The minimum release from the Strawberry Tunnel will remain at minimum until demands are above 400 cfs. Then flows will increase at the Straw. Tunnel for flows above 400 cfs. Final repairs will be completed this fall.
