Have painted a new gauge on bridge on downstream center pier. This gauge is equivalent to the old gauge. Minimum is ~.2' and Optimum .8'. Gets pushy with large ledge holes above 1.5'. Drops very quickly after a rain. Usually must run within one day after a big rain. Need a recent heavy rain and a minimum of around 5,500 cfs on Obed and ~1,600 cfs on Daddy's Creek. Best gauge for comparison is the Daddys Creek gauge. I am developing a virtual gauge for Island Creek based on Daddy's Creek flows. Please send in staff levels from runs on Island Creek to compare with Daddys Creek flows.

Speculative, but sound basis. Comments are welcome. |

These flows are based on a few observations after this virtual gauge had been created. Speculative for now.
