Fishing In And Out Of Park

[beamedik]

I am sending my boys down to fish for spring Break, 3-18-3-22. They are either going to stay in Park or at Pine crest, but would like to fish mostly out of park. We are familar with Tan-vat, Baptist, and Parkers Ford, but wanted to make sure it was low enough to be fishable. They got rained out last year with big flood. Also, since season is finally open, wanted to know what is working. this will be their earliest trip to Montauk/ current. Thanks from KC.

You could just look at the USGS water level site pinned to the top of the Current River Section you are posting in. Here it is for you.

yeah, i have looked at it, but it means nothing. Iam not sure how to interpret it and what it means the river looks like. thanks though.

If you change it to a 30 day graph, you can really see the fluctuations.

beamedik,

Here is a good rule of thumb... the Normal Discharge flow is 100 or less. An the normal Gage Height is less than 3 feet. Anything above those values, the water may be a bit off color and "faster" flows.

I hope that helps out.

Later,

cool, that helps a lot. otherwise i was just staring at a graph and having some flashbacks from statistics class...ended up under the desk twice.
