Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

The Sauk at Sauk gauge is typically used for this run. The flow on this stretch will actually be approximately 1/2 the discharge displayed on this gauge. During early summer snowmelt you can still have a great day on this run at 2000 cfs on the gauge and probably a bit below that, but with winter rain you're going to want a bit more. The run is generally considered ideal at flows between 5000 and 10,000 cfs. The run does not get a lot more difficult as flows increase, but it does become a bit more pushy and you may find yourself dodging some holes.
