Due to large amounts of snowpack melting into the reservoir this year, water managers were able to release enough water for rafts to float the river for more than 60 days.  River stakeholders - including farmers, water managers, boaters, conservationists and ecologists  - were able to study the impacts of this year's release as they work together to make a better plan for everyone.
