The indicated gauge is about 8 miles downstream. One quite substantial tributary (100 sq.mi. drainage area) and a couple smaller tribs contribute their flow to this gauge reading. Actual flow in this reach, therefore, will be about 75% of USGS figure. However, localized storms which hit the watersheds unevenly may cause this reach to be runnable (or unrunnable) at times when the gauge suggests otherwise. Thus, the best 'gauge' will be onsite inspection.
With the above as disclaimer, the listed minimum is a guess. While it may be possible to float at lower levels, the wide riverbed and fairly uniform bedrock will require fairly substantial flows to create depth sufficient to not be scrapey.
Listed 'maximum' is pretty much a level above which things are likely to get beefy and hard to catch.
