Nothin goin on at wister. It's at 1100 cfs

Do you use the americanwhitewater.org site for the Wister wave? Or is it just off

I don't know much about Wister, but here is the site I think most paddlers use around here.

Am I reading this wrong? Looks around 6500 cfs

The gauge listed on the OWP is on the Poteau River significantly downstream from the confluence of the dam outlet. Check the Army Corps website here;

Third line under Current Readings says "Resevoir release is..." Wister is currently at 1119 cfs, so it is not in.

I've never been to Wister but I have it on good authority (FarPastGone) that this is the link to use:

http://www.swt-wc.usace.army.mil/WIST.lakepage.html

...and that it is best between 5200 and 6000 cfs. He says it's a bit trashy but still OK at 3000.

Hope this helps.

Whoa, that was weird! We both posted at exactly the same time!

Just beat you out Dave.

Think the premo level is more like 5500 to 6500.

Thanks for the Link.... That could save a 4 hr round trip one day

Wister.......Optimal is 6800,, super sweeet. anything above 3000 is pretty good.

Richard, I used the address in your picture and was able to access the CofE site with both IE8 and Chrome. Try installing Firefox or Chrome to see if the problem continues with the other browsers.
