Lamprey

Original USGS-1073319 guage was frozen for 23 days. Removed and updated with hads-RAYN3 gauge. Maintained original flow ranges in updated gauge feed. -Clinton

Ran Upper Lamprey today 6.15 to 6.99 feet on AW posted guage information. Was scratchy at best, passable mostly - a real boat groover! Strainers

Ran the upper lamprey a couple of times this year. I would advise that with the new gauge in Raymond that we raise the runnable level to 4.5 feet using this new gauge. It is much closer than the Newmarket gauge.

Fine runs both times, one at 4.5 and one at 5.0 on the gauge. One big strainer near fast moving water below the third bridge, it is a big tree and will be there a long time to come.

The Paddler's Gage is located on the upstream side of the river left abutment of the bridge at the lower put-in.

Butch Mixon makes the sharp right hairpin turn late (very very late) one October afternoon.
