October Lakes Report
The heavy rains in early October were a challenge for the community, especially in the downtown river corridor and other streams and creeks in the county where authorities are still trying to assess total impacts and damage. We were a little luckier out here in the Pagosa Lakes community where some minor flooding caused some issues but we seem to have weathered it better than other parts of the county. The heavy influx of water raised lake levels in both Lake Pagosa and Hatcher Lake which were both down several feet below spill elevations.
The sewer repair work taking place near Lake Pagosa was substantially completed just before the flood rains arrived fortunately, and the PAWSD actually began re-filling the lake via Stevens Reservoir diversion a few days before the weather arrived. The rain runoff alone resulted in the lake coming up over a foot in just 2 or 3 days period with a heavy influx of stormwater. It is anticipated that the lake will continue to slowly re-fill over the coming weeks and by the time the holiday season arrives in late November should be closer to normal elevation, however it may not completely fill this fall. Hatcher Lake also came up over a foot in that same period and is now being re-filled more slowly via the Dutton Pipeline diversion from Four Mile Creek.
The lakes were stocked at the end of September with 5000 pounds of rainbow trout and brook trout, the fishing these past few weeks and between storms has been excellent and we anticipate that to continue through November. We received one report of three fishing buddies landing and releasing over 100 trout combined in one day at Hatcher Lake a couple of weeks ago, that’s a good day on the lake.
