There is a new guage at the bridge in Rowland, about 3.5 miles above the takeout: http://tinyurl.com/35lw54 Power generation upstream means that the river will often run on hot days when there isn't enough natural flow. It takes a couple of hours until the water reaches the guage, so the guage is only useful for planning trips when there's enough natural flow. The power company posts their expected generation schedule here:

Note that the figure they post is an average over a 24 hour period, so the actual release is typically 2 to 3 times higher. For example, if they generate from 10 to 6 and show a release of 350 cfs it will really be about 1050. Expected generation is usually announced 3 or 4 days ahead. Remember that just because they expect to generate power doesn't guarantee that they will.
