Gauge Description:
Usually only runnable with spring snowmelt or after very heavy local rain.
The USGS gauge lies directly on this stretch of river, but is downstream from the confluence with the East Branch of the Sturgeon, an equally large river. As a result, flows in the better part of this reach will be about half the gauge reading.
The optimum level is reportedly in the 400-500cfs range.
The best 'gauge' will be visual inspection at the first rapid, which is scoutable from the put in.STURGEON RIVER NEAR CHISHOLM [ MN ] | |
