This creek is fed entirely by the days snowmelt so the later you put on the higher the flow will be. Peak flows are at sunset or shortly after.
Before June look for minimum flows of 1000 cfs or higher. Early in spring the gauges, located far downstream of the actual reach, are mostly reading snow melt from lower elevations.
