(Edited info from 'BT100' on 2014.03.09):
Changes/updates to Kaukauna Utilities Badger plant have been completed, so river flow in the bypassed channel will be back to the normal (reduced) flows. I.E., using the gauge for Fox River in Appleton, you must now subtract 5,200 cfs to *approximate* flow in the bypassed (natural) channel here. As always, check the KU website for more accurate reading of the gate settings and corresponding flow in the natural channel.

At flows of 'three gates' or more, some will still use the normal put-in (which may be sketchy) for epic action on 'Island St. Wave'. For others, an option might be to seal-launch downstream, below the railroad trestle on river left. At these flows, Mystery Channel was outstanding, and Goose Ledges were good too!
