    Default Float below the Outflow

    Thanks. I figured as much. We can always do a car spot downriver.

    2000 is cutting in close to have a foot of water over that first riffle at Dixon Island but possible......2500 would be my "safe" bet for a guy who does not know the river.

    There are other areas (besides that first riffle) that will be more troublesome between the Dam and Warren.

    If you can plan a float without a trip back up to the dam, that would be best at typical summer flows. I've run back up in my square back canoe at 1700ish and maybe a litle lower with a 4 HP motor but I know the water pretty well. I've also pulled my boat up through shallow areas below Warren at low flows.

    I checked that first riffle on Saturday morning when the outflow was 3100 and there appeared to be at least a foot of water flowing over it.

    Now, it is 7400 and you could launch a deep-V and drift through it.
