I'd feel comfortable up to around 5k cfs in a canoe but I know the river well and am on it all the time. I'm sure there's some that would head out in 16k cfs and have the skill to do so. If you're concerned at all I would rent a boat or hire a guide for the day instead.

I've seen a few river boats hauling canoes and kayaks up the Buffalo. You could check with Riley's Station and see if they would shuttle via boat.

There's too many variables to have a one fly mindset but for now through the first heavy frost a hopper would be my preference if fishing from a boat. a San Juan with a midge dropper is hard to beat for those that can't make the long casts needed to put the hopper in the zone or if you're wade fishing. The sulphur hatch is just starting and is fun to fish when available.

I'm taking my family they know how to fish but I was asking for rookies in the group and I'm trying to keep away from bait fishing

When I am fishing artificials my go to lures for the white river are a Rapala CD7 or CD9 (brown trout or rainbow trout pattern) or an spinner like a panther martin.

it's definitely helpful. 5x and 6x fluorocarbon is tough to beat and pay for.
