The level it is now is perfect, 3.5 ft and 758 cfs. It it was below 3 ft I would expect to drag in a few places. I would watch the cfs more b/c there are long pools that require more paddeling w/o good flow. Over the weekend it was falling from 4.9-4.0 ft and ~1200 cfs which was great...it was slow enough to fish but we didn't have to paddle through the long pools...we just fished and floated. Hope that helps.

Did this section over the weekend and the fishing was great. Even with the extra traffic we caught 4 over 20" and lost count of the fish we caught in the 14-18" range. The fishing was so good I have blisters on the inside of my fingers from my spinning rod. All were released. The rapid below Rush is a class III, stay left, the middle has 4' rollers. There are tree's down but nothing blocking the river. That was last weekend so things could change. There are sand bars every mile or so and plenty of great camping spots. I would also suggest getting out at Shipps Ferry...going up stream would be a bad idea. Other than that it's great part of the river and worth the extra work to float it. Good luck.

Made this trip over the weekend. The water is green and moving. We covered the first 13 miles in 6 hours and camped above Spring Creek. Caught several smallies but only a few over 14". Most were caught on a husky jerk (gold) or power grub (brown w/ chartreuse tail). The bite was soft and I lost many fish due to short strikes on the HJ. The frustration made me switch to a power grub and surprisingly caught this rainbow in a run above Spring Creek...way up the river from the white. They hit the grub harder and stayed hooked but I didn't get as many hits b/c of how fast I had to work it. It was a great trip and the fishing was fun and fast just a little small now. Can't wait to go back when the water is a little slower. The water is moving fast and someone lost a river jon in a run above Dillards Ferry. It was pinned against a tree and all their gear was still in the boat including life jackets!! I have a picture of the rainbow but can't get it to upload. I keep getting this message " You did not select a file to upload" but I have attached the file several times. Anyone interested in seeing or uploading the photo pm me and I'll send it.
