Looks like they are running quite a bit of water at peak times(evening, early morning).  Figure on it being 8 hours to get to buffalo city I believe.  Riley's used to rent boats for under 100 for a day with fuel.

everything in this post is purely opinion and is said to annoy you.

So I think we'll just need some guidance on what's going to be navigable.  Leave it to the Corp to change things up on us while we were close to having a plan lol. 

I'm still learning flows and what it all means down there so may be some pointers on where it's safe to wade too

I am gonna do some hunting for an old map that showed how long it took water from the dam to get to wherever on the river.

Nice chart Eric. It would be nice to print that and laminate it.

do keep in mind it takes longer when it has been at Min flow for a while. It's like it takes a while to fill in all the nooks and crannies.

You've also get to keep in mind all the extra water from creeks and rivers running into the White. Not a huge factor this go around, but it sure can be.

Drops slower than it rises.  Trust me.   I've spent countless days waiting for the water to fall out enough to wade.  Most memorable are those at McCelleans....

Im actually building an app that is web scaping the data from the corp.

Right now Im just building a spreadsheet that will simulate the same as the app.

Plan to set up a decibel monitor here at the house that listens for the horn at the dam and have it trigger the sound on your app... The horn is usually ahead of release.. (but we all know thats not completely true), plus the app is planned to provide a simple glance to show rising or receding conditions (red green) and what CFS is on its way downstream. and when it should get to you.. its a work in progress. Too many ideas not enough time.

 

I got most of this info from a link @netboy provided a while back on the forum.. I just trimmed out what I wanted to see.

So just an update we won't be coming down tonight.   Rob had a late job so we called an audible. 

I believe our new plan is leave at 4AM and meet up at Eric's to figure out a game plan for fishing.

There's 5 of us coming down tomorrow.
