calloway can be run really low. my buddy dagger dave and I once went there and he would not take no for an answer even though I thought it was way too low way way way too low like 250? cfs. the first half mile was a bad scrapper, real bad and I was real pissed off to be beating the hell out of my boat. there are two cattle gate fences that come up and are easly avoided, after the second gate the creek gets so steep that almost no water is required. steep blind turns log flume style banks appear so tight, like 2-3 feet wide, that 50 cfs is enough to float through the trough. I would not want to be here at really high water plain and simple. Take this creek seriously.
