Steamboat Springs — High waters continued to flow from rivers, creeks and streams in and around Steamboat Springs, Colorado on Sunday as the record snowpack continues to melt, and a flood warning remains in effect for much of Routt County until 9 a.m. Tuesday. Our fingers are crossed.

And then there’s a big delay in catching fish. That’s too is not good. See article about the fishing concerns here.
