ABSTRACT The baseline limnology of Seminoe, Kortes, Pathfinder, and Alcova Reservoirs, on the North Platte River in Wyoming, was studied by Bureau limnologists during 1976-79. The study period included 2 years of severe drought followed by two of higher than average runoff in the North Platte basin. The reservoirs differ greatly in volume and operating patterns: Seminoe (1.25 x 10° m3) is mainly for 6 8 power production; Kortes (5.88 X 10 m3) and Alcova (2.27 x 1 0 m3), flow regulation; and Pathfinder (1.25 x 10° m3), for storage.

  • Facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin Above and Including Guernsey Dam and the Four Inland Lakes Near Scottsbluff, Nebraska
    PREFACE This report documents the operation of all Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) facilities in the North Platte River Drainage Basin above and including Guernsey Dam and the four Inland Lakes near Scottsbluff, Nebraska. This area of the North Platte River Drainage Basin is simply referred to in this report as the Basin. References to average in this document will refer to the average of the historical record for the years 1981-2010, except for water year 2012 information which uses the years 1982-2011. In each coming year this period will be advanced by one year to maintain a running 30-year average. INTRODUCTION The System of dams, reservoirs, and powerplants on the North Platte River (referred to as the "System" in this text) is monitored and in most cases operated and managed from the Wyoming Area Office in Mills, Wyoming. The operation and management of the System is aided by the use of a Programmable Master Supervisory Control, computerized accounting processes, an extensive network of Hydromet stations, control crest measurement weirs at gaging stations, SNOw TELemetry (SNOTEL) stations, and a snowmelt runoff forecasting procedure used by the Water Management Branch. The System consists of a number of individual water resource projects that were planned and constructed by Reclamation. The individual projects and features are operated as an integrated system to achieve efficiencies that increase multipurpose benefits. The drainage basin which affects the System covers an area from northern Colorado to southeastern Wyoming, encompassing 16,224 square miles. Storage reservoirs in the System include four off stream reservoirs known as the Inland Lakes in western Nebraska as shown in Figure 21.

Gizzard Shad Stocking Decision 13 Costs of Unwanted Species 14 Here are some suggestions near Casper to Seminoe Study 14 take a kid fishing: 1. Yesness Pond. This is the small reservoir off Wyoming Boulevard in Casper. GF stocks catchable sized trout several times through the spring. Sunfish are also establishing a population and can provide some very fast action. 2. 33 Mile ponds. Several ponds in the 33 Mile area northwest of Casper provide good fishing for trout; however there are a few bass/sunfish ponds too. Stop by the Casper Regional GF office with the Midwest BLM map (1:100,000 scale) and we’ll be happy to show you where the ponds are. 1 3. Alcova Reservoir. Alcova can be a very fast fishery for rainbow trout, especially in the spring and fall. Fishing from either a boat or shore will provide good fishing. Some other suggestions are the Otter Creek beaver ponds on Muddy Mountain (brook trout), Glendo Wetlands (largemouth bass, catfish), Guernsey Slough (largemouth bass, catfish, pumpkinseed sunfish) and several brook trout streams on the Laramie Range between Casper and Wheatland.
