Fish Creek, E. Branch

Copied from FLOW board post by Terry (Bosco Boater). Nice description of runnability based on new gauge levels:

As for the current gauge, I find that 3.5 is as low as I can go with out grounding. It gets thin in spots but there is a line all the way down and most of the features are present but small. The hole have no holding power at this level. At 4 ft, the features get more padding and the lines are easier to find. At 4.5 to 5.5 the river is at it's best, all of the features are running good, there are multiple lines, the holes start getting a little sticky and the waves are at a good surfing level. Fun times. At 5.5 to 6.5 The river picks up a lot of speed, the holes get much stickier and the waves get much bigger. At 6.5 and above the river just gets faster, the eddies get much smaller and harder to hit. A lot of the rapids tend to wash out and it starts to get harder to hit the take out for the dam portage. You will usually see a lot of wood and other debris as it rises through the higher levels. It isn't unusual to see many full sized trees running by the house at this height so be aware of that when you are running. It would suck to get run over by a tree!
