Gauge info:

Start with the Gunnison at Grand Junction (http://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/station/flowplot/flowplot.cgi?gjnc2)

Subtract the Gunnison at Delta Gauge (http://www.cbrfc.noaa.gov/station/flowplot/flowplot.cgi?gjnc2) and the Uncompahgre at Delta (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/co/nwis/uv/?site\_no=09149500&PARAmeter\_cd=00065,00060).

If the difference is 800-1000 it should be in. General Season is Late April-Late May. Check Mountainbuzz.com as it will be announced over the wire when someone goes up there for a visual report. Cold Weather in Western CO can shut it down overnight, very worth it at medium high flows.
