At present you are looking at conditions that are about 3 ft. high. It could be floated but there wont be any riffles or gravel bars, the water will be muddy still...and there could be alot of strainers. So be careful if ya do.

Where do you find the link or the page previous to the water gauges for each specific location? Those are great links, but I can not go back to the main menu to pull up ABC River or location?

Thanks.

Thanks, this would have been my first time on the upper niangua so I had no idea what the normal levels are. Thanks fishinwrench. Tight Lines.

Andy, quick lesson on figuring out what normal levels are...

If you look at the graphs for the Windyville gage, you'll see two graphs, one is level in feet, the other is flow in cubic feet per second. On the flow graph, you'll see a series of little triangles, one for each day. Those triangles are the median river flow for that day, and a very good indication of what the normal flow is.

So if you look at the flow graph on the Windyville gage, as of March 29, the flow was right around the little triangle. That tells you that the river was flowing at about normal for this time of year on that day. Now if you look at the graph that shows the level, you'll see that the level on March 29 was about 2.4 or 2.5 feet. So...2.4 feet or so is going to be the normal level for the river at this time of year, although you'll note that the little triangles are gradually getting lower. As of tonight, the river is flowing at about 4.6 or 4.7, so it's about 2.5 feet above normal.

You can also just open up the "31 day window" and see where she was before it blew out last.

Al, Where did ya see 2 graphs for Windyville ? I didn't think they provided CFS info for that location.

I went down to the river at Lead Mine today,it was up a little and seemed to be clearing up if this helps.If we don't get all the rain their calling for it will be ok.

Hope this helps.

That's weird...when I was on it last night they had both graphs, but tonight they're not showing the cfs. One thing I didn't think about when giving the info above...I don't think the Windyville gage has been real-time for very long, so even if they do start giving the cfs again, the little triangles may not be very accurate. The more years of record a gage has (meaning the more years it's been in existence and thus the more years the flow for a given day has been recorded, the more the median flow will be likely to signify a "normal" level. Median flow means that, for all the years of record, half the time it's been higher than that and half lower. But if a gage has only had, for instance, three years of record, and two of those years it happened to be flooding on that day, the median is going to be a lot higher than what a normal flow would be.
