I'm curious if anyone can help those of us who have to drive an hour or more to fish the Bogachiel/Calawah/Sol Duc.

Are there any general guidelines to using the USGS river flow website to decide whether a drive west is in order.

Last Thursday, the Calawah gauge showed about 1700 cfs. I fished the Bogachiel below the hatchery and took two fish. Then the rains came and the Calawah gauge climbed to almost 19000 cfs. Today, it dropped to about 2000 cfs and tonight it is climbing up again (2200 cfs at 10:30 p.m.). I am hoping to make a trip out again later this week. Is there a maximum flow on the Calawah that would indicate that the three rivers are probably not fishable?

Thanks in advance for any guidance.
