AW negotiated real-time flow information and works cooperatively with PG&E to provide it through a web interface (AW Feather gauge). Via a new agreement reached in 2007 releases are scheduled for both Saturdays and Sundays generally on the fourth weekend of the month, July through September, from 10:00am until 4:00pm. The release flow is based on the historic hydrograph: the June release level is 1,600cfs, July @ 1,200cfs, and 1,000cfs for August - October. Currently minimum instream flows are now 180 cfs and in practice 250 cfs are often available in the river which can provide opportunities for a low flow trip down Tobin.

InformationNorth Fork of the Feather GaugeA schedule of upcoming releases, which take place in June through October, is available on our calendar. Current flows are available from this web page or by accessing our site through a WAP enabled cell phone. A graph and table of flows for the past two days are provided below. Flows are updated hourly and delayed 4 hours. Forecasts and flows cannot be guaranteed and are subject to change. DISCLAIMER This gauge information is a result of hard work by American Whitewater in reaching a Settlement Agreement with the Pacific Gas and Electric Company in 2000. This cooperative agreement will provide the public with flow information on the North Fork Feather for the next 30 years. It is our hope that this information will be a benefit to all recreational users and enthusiasts of this great river.
