SF Gorge at 2,600 cfs in February 2019

A great day on the river in February, prime time for Salmon River boating. Recent rain and a warm spell brought flows up above winter base flows and made for a good run. At 2,600 cfs on the Somes Bar gauge all the rapids have ample water but some of the in-between sections where the river widens and flattens out felt like they could use a little more. I call it the low end of medium flow. Paddlers run this section much lower and much higher than this flow.
