How are Burland Ponds, Deer Creek and NFSP River?

How are Burland Ponds, also Deer Creek and NFSP River in Bailey?

Deer Creek was close but not over 285 at midnight last night. Per a friends post on FB

Ponds were normal yesterday when I was fishing.

Anyone heard anything about Tiny Town?

The scanners for Park County and Conifer are quiet with the exception of an occasional medical call

We were at the ponds again today. They're normal, but Deer Creek is crazy high and fast!

The water in the deer creek is currently moving at about 1 6/8 feet per second

No fish seen, I think they've all been washed down the river

Is that similar to 1.75 feet per second? And when did water flow rate begin to be measured in feet per second, rather than cubic feet per second? Or were you measuring the time it took for your toy boat to move downstream?

Thanks for the update.

Drove by Deer Creek along 285 but never made it to the ponds.

Drove by Burland Ponds. They are full. Deer Creek is running high. I think that the road will get inundated before there would be any problems with the ponds. Looks like water is backing up by the white house.

Took a drive up PC43 and saw how much water has backed up in different areas. Doesn't look like ParkCo R&B are doing anything to open the plugged ones that they are responsible for. Hope we don't get any more cells hanging over the area.

Neighbor says Deer Creek is massive on its way to the North Fork of the South Platte in the National Forest. Quite a hike I understand and I haven't seen it.
