Bear Creek (Allegheny River trib.)

Ran the Bear on 3/8/09, the Slip went from 1600cfs to 3200cfs (the gage was spiking)while we were on the crick. This was a great level, possibly optimum. There was a river wide strainer somewhere in the middle of the run. So as alway with this crick keep an eye out for strainers.

The Slippery rock correlation gage becomes less and less reliable the further out you go on a falling Slip gage.

This is the bad undercut just above the takeout veiwed from downstream.
