{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Potomac turbidity

I think Lane nailed it. I emailed the contact on the USGS website. Didn't get an answer, but the gauge page now shows that the trubidity info from June 1 on is "affected by equipment malfunction." So for now, no turbidity readings. Thanks for figuring that out.

Owen: did you try to wade at the pipeline or were you in a kayak/canoe?

I think for whatever reason the turbidity gauge is not working.  The river color has been good.

Does anyone know what's going on with the upper Potomac? The gage at Little Falls shows a gradual, sustained frop fro about 7 feet in mid-May to around 3.7-3.8 currently, with occasional small spikes before resuming the drop.

But the turbidity hit bottom around the last week of May and has been rising ever since, and is now over 150, far higher than at any time in the last 30 days.

I ususally see these things move together -- rains wash mud into the river and also raise the overall level. But not this time.

Any ideas?
