Planning a family float-fishing-camping trip in mid-July. Putting in at the West Fork Bridge, floating down past Chicken, and taking out at the Forty-Mile Bridge at Milepost 112. I've read that sometimes this river gets too low to float. But, how low is too low???
Current river levels at various gauges around the area are:
West Fork = 4.99 ft
South Fork = 81.31 ft
Mosquito Fork = not reporting
Walker Fork = 8.54 ft
Wade Creek = 19.31 ft
Forty Mile Bridge = 73.13 ft
O'Brien Creek = 62.25 ft
Some of these readings are 10X what some of the others are! Is the river really that deep in some places? Or is there a difference in the way the measurements are taken at different spots along the river?
Thanx, Dave.
