Typical for the week over 9 years: 1.0 to 4.7 cfs. Running 1.0 cfs today, inside that range. Flows are not forecast; check the gauge the day before.

Flows swing a lot this week most years. Carry both a heavy nymph rig and a dry-dropper and let the gauge decide.

Written by the app's rules engine from the calendar, the gauge record and the snowpack, not by hand, so it says only what the data says. The weather for the week comes with the app.
