Monarch to the sluice box takeout: No info on gauges, but if there's around 4-6 inches at the Monarch put-in, its do able. It'll take around 5-8 hrs, depending on flow and stops.

Dave Amman reports that there appears to be a dependable relationship between the Smith below Eagle Creek and historic gauges on Belt Creek at Riceville Bridge. Find the flow reported by the USGS gauge at the bottom of the page then use Dave's table to find the likely flow in Belt Creek at Riceville.

If the USGS graph is showing feet instead of cfs, click on the link on the right side for the gauge homepage. The homepage shows both stage and cfs.
There was a USGS gauge at Monarch from 1951 to 1982. Historical data from that gauge is available. Other historical USGS gauges on Belt Creek can be found by a USGS search for Belt Creek The topo map shows a gauge site just upstream of Rice which appears to be the one that Dave used to correlate flows with the Smith.
