Gauge Information

Gauge Description:

Rafters should look for at least 1,000 CFS on the Bruneau gage, but kayaks can run as low as 500. The BLM Guide book does not recommend running the Bruneau at flows over 2,500 CFS. Flows can fluctuate very rapidly with changing weather conditions. Timing of run off is highly variable from year to year. Catching the Bruneau can be difficult.
