The USGS North Chick gage is in an unstable stream bed that changes and shifts after floods. Lucky for us, the Bowater Paddler's gage is placed in a very stable area and hasn't changed with each flood. As of December 2004 here's how the USGS gage relates to the Paddler's Bowater Gage.

USGS = Paddlers Gage

10.93 = 5.50

7.68 = 3.25

7.23 = 2.90

6.92 = 2.80

6.84 = 2.50

6.57 = 2.20

6.30 = 1.80

6.27 = 1.75

6.16 = 1.50

6.14 = 1.10

I have an Excel 2000 spreadsheet that predicts the levels for North Chick and several other rivers in the southeast. If you
