I don't know how accurate the flow gauge was, but I know we wanted to get down the river before it was too late, and we did it in early June. We scraped through at least half and dozen places but felt it was "tolerable". I don't like banging up my boat. I row a 16' guide model Willie's with a wide bottom. I was just wondering what you guys thought about higher flows, etc. I always hate to hear about someone getting in trouble on the river. You never know if what you encounter is easy or tough, I guess it depends on the day. Anyway, I think everyone that goes out in the morning should be able to get home, a few fish aren't worth going crazy and doing something stupid, but people do it all the time. Tight lines!
