You gotta remember to account for level rising and dropping.

When I woke up, I checked level and I think the gauge said 9K and going up 300ish cfs an hour. A few hours later it was in the 6k range and dropping over 500 cfs an hour. 6k and dropping 500cfs and hour (basically a full on tributary every hour) is not gonna look or feel the same way a static 6k will feel in the Spring.

Make any sense?

Just found this today, it might be useful to add this to the quiver of ways to get flow information.


m.waterdata.usgs.gov

It's still in Beta and I haven't actually used it on my phone but it has to be a bit better that the regular waterdata site for navigating on the phone.

Checked to see if NWFRC had one but it doesn't appear that there is.

If PPeeps have used this in the past please chime in, I'm curious about it's functionality and limitations.

I was out early on Sunday to see the high water. Gauge read 9600+ and it looked like it. Water piling up and sometimes cresting house rock, mercy chute wide open, almost an eddy the river was so wide. By noon it had settled down to about 8000 and big rocks were well above water. By 3:30 that day it had dropped to about 6000 and I putin at cable drop, portaged boulder and got out at split rock.  By the time I reached the takeout it had prolly dropped to 5500.
I went again yesterday afternoon about 5pm and it was down to about 2400. This morning the gauge reads 2380 as of 8:30pm last night. When I went to the USGS site, it said 2680.

It seems about right.  Not sure at what level the rock in the center of the weir drop gets covered up?

So I'm not sure if I'm just not used to seeing actually water in the Sky or what, but I'm feeling like the gauge is reading a bit lower than what I'm seeing. Yesterday they gauge read around 2600-2700 when I was out there, but it seemed closer to 3500 or so.

Any locals or people that have this run memorized agree or disagree?

The rock at the exit of Boulder Drop on river left, that's kinda shaped like a whale's tail, was almost all the way under water yesterday (def no rock showing). Also ledge drop at the base of BD was really filled in and didn't really have any exposed rock.....

What drysuit do you have? Back zipper or cross the chest? Any cross the chest zipper drysuit will end up letting in more water to your boat because the zipper breaks the "seal" between the skirt and your body. This is not the case w/a back zipper or drytop. This is why Kokatat drysuits for playboating are always kind of a bummer in terms of water in the boat, unless you have a back zip model.

Even with my tunneled drysuit I could feel the water coming in all around the tunnel/deck attachment area. I switched to my other skirt which was too big for the boat and sure enough I was drier with that skirt despite the fact it wasn't the right size. But, I can also feel water coming in around the bungee when I playboat and water piles up on the front of my boat or I pearl.....LOTS of water in my boat then. NEXT step is silicone sealing my Mamba!
