Definitely important to hit it with water!

Indian Cr gauge was about 160 to begin with and was dropping to about 135 cfs/hr. Very boney at these flows. Lots of gear abuse on rocks and many small breaches and pins. Should have taken out sooner as the brush and low hanging trees get oppressive down low. Besides a couple of nice boofs, none were impressed with the run. It definitely needed more water, but then the lower overhanging section and the limbo logs would have really sucked. I think the problem is Indian Cr is way past due for a big flushing flood event to rip out encroaching vegetation again. I have seen this watershed flood once or twice the past 30 years. When that happens, I may go back again to a cleaned up run.Ron Rogersnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73607279919035.post-41469926597760805752011-05-09T16:25:42.135-07:002011-05-09T16:25:42.135-07:00It had wood, and its more like a 35-40

Thanks for the beta update...Interestingl...Hi Alex,<br />Thanks for the beta update...Interestingly enough it makes lots of sense that when we did it late in the year (off snowmelt runoff) proportionally more water was coming down the mainstem from higher up. These colder storms must juice up the Tribs down below, thus upping the ideal flow required for the run. Keep on it!<br />Cheers,<br />DanDaniel Mentenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278196593762304754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-73607279919035.post-11640568385618311382011-03-27T19:06:53.578-07:002011-03-27T19:06:53.578-07:00On March 25th there were two wood situations, one ...On March 25th there were two wood situations, one below the low water portage, but above the rail car bridge (with our flow we ducked under, would be harder at higher flows), and the other below the rail car bridge on the sharp bend, portaged on the left. Other wood, but all passable. The gauge was reading 183, but was similar to what your pictures show-snow line was just above the put-in.
