Brush Creek flows on Friday Feb 8th was below the guage. It is still runnable but very low. Any lower would be unadvised.
There is a low flow indicator that is better than the gauge for low flows...by driving up the road to the put in and stopping where you can see up the canyon/run...if the largest drop you see (the double drop at the bottom of the large sequence) has water running all the way across the lip (as opposed to just on the river left side) the run will go. Of course this is very low. The drops are still all clean but the slides and boulder sections can be frustrating.
At flows below the gauge the run is not 'destination worthy' but if your in the area, and you don't mind sacrificing some plastic...its worth checking out.
On Friday Feb 8th water was all the way across the lip but just barely.
