Lost Horse Creek Gage

We've been using the Lost Horse Creek Gage to correlate flows: We've found a rough 1:1 correlation.

We've gone three times:
* 500 CFS on this gage is a nice Medium-low.
* Around 600 CFS on that gage and things started to feel pretty fluffy: Water starts to pour over the boof-rock that closes in skinny hips. We did a lap around this high and felt like it was the high side of medium flows.

I personally think lower flows are great on this creek, and will stick to around 500 CFS.
