Looks like I'll be doing a sky lap around noon sometime. Give me a shout if you want to do a run. hm 36O 7ninerniner15threefive

just for general purpose of beta: did a run on the upper NF Sky Saturday. It was a great Med-Low level. Used this guage to get idea of what water level is like in upper basin:

This guage gives several locations and has been mentioned before. NF at Galena was reading 5.0 which in my opinion makes for a good med level in the canyon. Silver Creek was cranking. We put in at the typical Drumbeater spot. Somebody let us through the gate... we got so lucky.
Let's make a deal still has wood spanning 3/4 way across river. Narrow slot on Rio R is good.
So for future purposes, I'd use above mentioned guage to determine best flows. By the time I got off the main Sky was reading above 8k and going up. Anyways, great run! ------------- |
