Snake River expected to stay steady

Snake River expected to stay steady




JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) -- The Snake River in Jackson Hole should hold steady for whitewater season, according to a river manager.




"Chances are we're going to be releasing enough (water) from storage to keep the river average," said Mike Beus, the Bureau of Reclamation's water operations manager for the Snake River in Jackson Hole.




But Beus said the agency does not expect Jackson Lake's reservoir to be more than half full.




That means boaters on the lake will have a tough time.




The reservoir was only 31 percent full a week ago.
