Flushing flows on the Lower Shoshone
The Wyoming Game and Fish Department would like to make sportspersons and recreationists aware of sizable increases in water flows in the Shoshone River below Buffalo Bill Dam April 8-11 as part of a flushing flow project.
The Bureau of Reclamation has scheduled this flushing flow at the request of Game and Fish and in coordination with Willwood Workgroup Two. Willwood Irrigation District, in coordination with Willwood Workgroup Two, is planning a controlled elevated release of sediment from Willwood Dam April 9.
The purpose of the increased flows from Buffalo Bill Dam is to help protect the fishery by transporting the sediment released from behind Willwood Dam downstream. This increased flow is expected to improve conditions throughout the Shoshone River. The sediment release and increased flow are being coordinated to minimize impacts to irrigators, recreationists and aquatic life in the Shoshone River.
