Each day on my way to work I drive over the Provo River (PR) in downtown Provo, and I am amazed at how high and fast the flow of the PR is right now. I've not seen such high water volume flowing down the PR in a long time.
I hesitate including the following link, because many of you may be familiar with the drought coverage that KSL provides. Nevertheless, I frequent KSL's Web page to view current drought reports, and I found the following report very interesting. It's an article focusing on our current snowpack and the affect it will probably have on various waters. Here it is: [url "http://water.ksl.com/index.php?nid=3&sid=184225"]http://water.ksl.com/index.php?nid=3&sid=184225[/url].
I can't imagine Utah Lake doing anything but rising considerably due the current high volume of the PR and the expected runoff from the Wasatch Front's considerable snow pack.
As many have already stated, this should result in flooded vegetation along the shorelines, which should ultimately improve fishing, and for all us duck hunters, it should mean some flooded stands of cattails, willows, etc., during the fall for some great waterfowl action. Woo-hoo!
