Eagle Valley Reservoir

Lower flows this week on the Truckee River

by MATT KOLES

Lower flows this week on the Truckee River. Flows came down right after I wrote my last post. They’ve been hovering right under 200 cfs here in the Hirsch. They’re a bit higher through Farad, and unfortunately pretty low in Reno. We all knew if was coming. The only silver lining, nothing’s coming out of Boca. At least we’ll have some water this fall. Smokes been bad
