Arkansas Canoe Club Forums

Over the last week, or so, I have been struck by how much we all should appreciate the work Bill "Fish" Herring did in building the website capturing cfs and levels on most of the streams we like to paddle. In season, it is my favorite webpage:) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Crane

Even more thanks on the google earth rain fall estimate stuff.

Can I "Like" the above 2 posts!!!

Making paddling a little more user friendly for those who made too many dry runs.

Fish gave us all this boating info many years ago. It was state of the art then and continues to be.

In my various travels here and there, I will mention Fish's Ozark Creek pages and the universal comment is "man, I wish we had something like that".

Thanks Mr Fish for being a great friend and for all you have done for us boaters over the years.

Ok I have to get on this band wagon!! Fish YOU are the man! Hope all is good ole friend.

I made a page like that for Texas. It's just a big solid red block. All the time.

DA Man! I use his page all the time.

A huge thanks to Fish from North Texas River Runners too!

Fish, sucks!

The site that Fish put together is really great. I continue to bookmark enough it is not as useful now as when I lived in the Ozarks.

In many aspects, the Ozark Creek pages has attributes that are better than American Whitewater's (AW) National Flow Data set.

A difference between Ozark Creek page and AW's is that AW has the potential to be more interactive, involve contributions from more people and alter paddlers to changes in river hazards. From that standpoint, I would encourage AW members to help populate that site with more information.

I use it all of the time! Thanks fish!!

Geez, I leave the board for a week and it turns into some kind of lovefest! :) Thanks to the thankers and to Ryan for bringing balance to the discussion.

Fish is definitely overrated. I think he has ridden the backs of true Americans, to accomplish his ulterior motives. I personally boycott the OWP, so long as it doesn't sound like there is going to be any rain...

Nope, The Fish is for real.

Made my entire living operating, programming and managing computers. Was there in the early days when Fish was doing the start up programming on his ozark pages. He's the real deal and he did it on his own.
