Use what works for you and leave everyone else alone to do what works for them. 

Absolutely right.  

I just have a good bit of respect for Al.....and yes for Suzy too 🙄 and if they insist that one is more reliable than the other .....then bygod I wanna try to understand it.   In this case however I just can't wrap my head around it.   

I appreciate y'all trying to explain it to me, but if what you've said up to this point is all you've got..... I'm still not there.    All is good, sorry if I frustrated or upset anyone.   

Did I really not make any good points though ?

Ok, went in and deleted the calling out of people stuff.  None of us should be doing that.

You deleted my post because I typed Suzy instead of "Suisilski" (or however he spells it) ?

Are you freakin' kidding me ?

Right on, Quill 😥 

All good things come to an end.   Y'all know how to to find me if you ever want to.

Sad day for me.     Love you guys.   

Wrench is gone from here.

Wrench you are over reacting.  Think it over, this forum is too big a part of your life for you to leave.  Just be a little more thoughtful on calling people names, not everyone is in tune with your sense of humor.  

We can't have people calling each other out.

Back to the topic at hand....Here is why I use CFS but generally I am floating..not fishing so walking riffles is something I don't want to do. 

Kings River will never show less than 2'; the gage is in a hole under the bridge. Get down in the 2.5' range and there may be riffles that just appear wet with no visible flow over them.  

50CFS I am dragging through many riffles, 100CFS I may bump a big rock 1 or 2 times in 8-10 miles when choosing a bad line. 100 CFS is smooth sailing, 50 is a soggy drunk hike. Difference in gage height? Maybe 3 inches Why? because in that bigger deep hole it takes a lot more volume in/out to raise the water level 3" than it does in the shallow riffles where you end up walking through.  

In reality 3" would make sense if the measurement came out of the shallowest riffles but when the gage was measuring 2.8 vs. 3.1 ft. I'm not sure I can distinguish the difference in ft. in that hole where I can in CFS.

I didn't "call anyone out", and since you've deleted a chunk of the conversation the evidence for me to defend that accusation is gone.  

Nothing against you, or anyone else, it is just that I can't seem to carry on a conversation with anyone on here anymore without pissing someone off and having to put out those fires all the time.     Obviously it's just my personality and the way I talk, not blaming anyone else.   I'm not going to put on any phoney act in order to be a part of this place. If everyone can't accept me for who/what I am then I don't belong here.  Again, I'm not bitter with anyone here whatsoever, I just don't belong here anymore.  Time for me to step out and quit interfering with the way y'all want this place to be.    No hard feelings, Peace!
