Tom, we did it about 3 times last year. It's a fine float when there's water. The level needs to be at least 3.0. A little higher and the bends get exciting. The shallowest section is just downstream from the put in. If you get past that without having to get out and walk, the rest will be fine.

Yep. Now that I'm home I see my notes where 4.25 was great and 2.5 was still good.

I can't wait for . . . (unmentionable) and to try Osage Creek that Paul posted about. I think Steve R. has done Clear Creek into Illinois. Heck he's done Goose Creek into Illinois. There's also Hamestring into Clear Creek. Next big (unmentionable) we should do Illinois from Hog Eye or further up.
