    This flooding was caused when the Irrigation Co. Blew up a beaver dam upstream. Instead of taking the dam apart and letting the water flow out gradually all the water was released into the creek at once. Since the creek was blocked by ice the result of this overflow of water impacted the capacity. Because of the flooding the water has been shut off to the creek. This will result in a total fish kill to this stream. Surely the management of this water can be handled in a responsible manner!
