You should be able to launch. But, levels are still LOW, LOW, LOW. Irrigation canals should start running closer to the end of this month and start filling Scootney.

Post by: plugger on March 10, 2016, 01:10:44 PM: same I think. The only dam I no of to hold the water back after soda is on scootney. I think it starts backing up from there and fills everything up stream. But I cant confirm that.
