Bighorn River flows through Yellowtail Dam will remain at 1,500 cubic feet per second throughout the winter under a plan released by the Montana Area Office of the Bureau of Reclamation Thursday.

It's a compromise not likely to make Montana or Wyoming interests very happy in the ongoing Bighorn water war.

The initial proposal had flows on the Bighorn River at Fort Smith running at 1,500 cfs until April when they would be boosted to 2,000 and then to 2,500 in June.
