I am hoping to paddle Brentwood to W F this afternoon.Would enjoy the company of any like-minded adventurers who might be so inclined. I am pretty flexible on the time. Post if interested and we can work out the details. Steve Anderson

floated down from brentwood yesterday and the first half was low in spots. never had to get out though...

Checked it on the way into town. I have certainly floated it lower, but would not argue that it is high or even ideal.

Just checked Clear and it is low but runnable, and I would guess Lee would be about the same.

Thanks for your info input, Nathan and KRU. While I would rather paddle low water than no water, I couldn't get any boat abusers to join me. Trip postponed. It's raining now. Will try again- not necessarily the same stretch of water. Steve

Four of us did Woolsey bridge to Westfork park Tuesday evening (5/12) level was about 6.2. Waves were fluffy but shoals were kind of bony. Would think above that section even lower. Would love to do this section at about 7 ft. Can anyone confirm that's a pretty perfect level?

BTW a few downed trees making large stainers on our section (a couple were river wide).

it's always hard to tell with that gage since it's a ways down stream. this time it worked pretty well, but i usually just ask KRU.

but yeah, i think around 7' is perfect.

A couple of us ran winslow to west fork this morning" may 17" it was pretty perfect. I like to do it when the gauge reads 20 ish feet . Never checked it today but it was prob close ?? Lots of hole punching lots of rolling. It was a great level. Water at the park was covering about 1/3 of the parking lot. We walked around 1 tree below slicker falls but I think that was it. Great fun close run.:)

Checked it this morning around 8:30/9:00ish, saw two vehicles parked along 71 just down stream from the Winslow put-in/Slicker Falls. Was that y'all Mike E? None the less it was running when I checked it.

Think that it peaked around 13' on the Fayetteville gauge, it has obviously been bigger but I think y'all caught it at a decent level.

Thanks for the update.

Yes sir that was us. We were heading for clear but couldn't resist all the rolling waves :)
