Stickle Bridge (PnP?)Class I-II
0.1 Miles
Gauge Information
White Breast Creek
River DescriptionWe have seen anecdotal information which suggests there is (at least at some occasions) some whitewater interest to be found on this stream. Speaking strictly as someone who has never seen this river, I am assuming this is a park-and-play wave which forms at certain flows. The only reference I could find to 'Stickle' was a cemetery, and the coordinates for this stream (as supplied below) are based on the nearest bridge which I could find. Thus, this may be completely off. StreamTeam Status: unverified

Analysis of the USGS gauge data from 1962-2004 yields:
Drainage area = 342 square miles
All time minimum = 0.02 cfs
All time maximum = 24,700 cfs
10% flow exceeds = 994 cfs
90% flow exceeds = 2.8 cfs
so the 10/90 ratio: 355!
This is an extremely flashy stream!

stickle rapids is a natural rock rapids. There's a big ol' wave there at 7' or more. Looks pretty nasty over 13'. great fishing and mushroom hunting. The white breast creek above the rapids, just downstream from melcher-dallas, is narrow and deep and a great for swimming fishing kayak and conoeing.
