WINTER HOURS: 9am TO 6pm DAILY

Report Date: 3/21/2025

Current Conditions: 

Tarryall looks like it will be one of the last lakes in the area you can ice fish on. And that wont be lasting long. Hard water season looks to be coming to a close for the year as we continue to see warmer temps and a ton of wind. If you do go out here, use extreme caution.

There is some open water all around the lake right now.

Weather:

Short Term-  The wind machine has been cranking as of late. We still have a few more days of heavy wind up here before we get some relief. This weekend, especially Saturday, will be insanely windy. Forecasted winds on Saturday are 35 mph sustained with 55 mph gusts. Sunday will still be windy but not quite as bad. Temps will be in the 40's and we should see a lot of sun. Monday will again be windy but starting on Tuesday we should see several days with way less wind. Next week looks pretty inactive in these parts in terms of storms and weather. Temps will be way above seasonal averages as well and in the 50's and even 60's! Look for the winds to increase again next weekend as a storm system enters the state.

Long Term-  Next weekend a storm system will be coming into the high country. Right now it doesnt look like it will have much of an impact in this area besides more wind. Since it still a week or so away, things could change. Longer range forecasts are lining up to show some potential storm activity at the end of March/first part of April. Lets hope this happens as all of this recent wind has really dried things out. Speaking of wind, we will be seeing quite a bit more of that this spring. We are getting too warm too fast this early spring.

Despite the recent warm weather and wind, we have seen some higher elevation storms in the South Platte basin. Our snowpack is holding strong. This basin is one of the strongest in the state actually and is sitting at 101% of average as of today. As we roll into spring we will have longer days, a higher angle of the sun, and a lot of wind. This combination can start to decrease the overall snowpack at a good pace. With our biggest snow months historically on the horizon March and April), lets hope we can keep building this for our summer water. Snow now means water later, and we can use all we can get!
