Gauge Description:
The above gauge correlation link is at Cabins on the North Fork of the South Branch and Seneca Creek is only part of the flow picture. Numerous observations suggest, however, that Seneca will be running if this gauge is rising toward 6 feet. You probably need more than 6 ft. on a falling gauge.
Seneca Creek only runs for short periods after heavy rains or big snowmelts. Noting when it last rained and where - the creek drains off the highest mountain in W.Va. and often gets more rain than other areas of the adjacent watershed - will improve the odds of catching Seneca.
The old gauge guidance is 4-8 feet on the Petersburg gauge. This is even rougher than Cabins.
