Minimum flow for the "top" section of the Lehigh should be 700 cfs for any kind of reasonable whitewater paddling. I prefer a minimum of 1000, but 700 is a good level for running a beginner teaching trip. Both FLOW and PCC use this stretch for that purpose during the June releases. Fishermen, however, who like this stocked stretch, prefer 300, and object to kayakers invading "their" water. Ever notice that the release level is frequently dropped to 300-400 on non-release weekends? Be kind to fishermen!
