We ran this at ~3.25 on the new gauge and it was hoot. Nice consistent grade, tons of small surf
and a few sporty holes. Good way to spend a few hours. Edit

what I see with the new gage is 200 cfs makes a nice run from Valley rd. off 341. Not sure how that
correlates, I think around 3.5'. Ran it last week at 200 and it was solid wavetrains, yesterday at
150 cfs (ish) it was a lot slower, similar to the Salmon in colchester. I think i've run it up to
600cfs (around 4' old gage.) Edit

The gauge has been down for over six months. It started when they were doing work on the dam, I
dont know if it has been completed but the reading obviously is still off. I have never actualy put
in at that point. I start on the Bantam at Rumsey Hall School adout 1/2 mile above confluence
w/Shepaugh, and take out at the Horse Riding Ring in the southern section of Steep Rock Reservation
in Washington. I love this section, just pure fun and great beauty. Edit

On the listing, you state the take out is at Rte 67. Actually for the run you describe, the take
out is RTE 47. There is a run that goes all the way to Rte 67, but it is probably mostly CL 1 with
an occ. 2 Edit
