water level at mayfield lake
« on: April 02, 2019, 03:21:53 AM »
I heard about and saw some pictures of the lake this past weekend and it's super lower then usual. Anyone know what the reason for this is? I'd like to go check it out..

Mayfield is fine. Riffe is really low. 40 feet below the new boat launch extension. Hardly any rain and very little snow melt runoff. The Cowlitz will be running pretty low to try to get water back into Riffe.

They are keeping rife low due to some cracking in the spillways. Just precautionary from what I am hearing it supposed to be like this for the next several years. It is the lowest I've seen in the 40 years that I have lived here. It sucks we have fished there for ever and have not been able to enjoy the resources as of late. Good luck and tight lines. 
Luck is where preparation and oportunity come togeher.
Live to hunt-Hunt to live!

There are no cracks in the spillway.  They are concerned about the possibility of a spill gate sharing off and obstructing the spillway in the event of something like a magnitude 7.2 earthquake. Lots of studies still going on.

They should rip out all 3 of those damns on that river.
They promised fish mitigation and have failed in epic manor.
The citizens of the town of Riffe and Washington State deserve better.

Meanwhile the folks in California are delighted as we ship power down south.

Pathetic, limp wrist-ed politics are the Washington way.

Dont think anybody living downstream would like that. And fish mitigation is happening. Although not how we might like it.
