I'm not the best one to comment on this but my past experiences on this stretch I found 2k-3k a very fun action packed level. Below 1600 I think it feels pretty low esp as it drops so quickly. Ideally its high in the am and dropping with showers. Hope your able to catch it, if not tommorrow maybe next week!

Just the CFS often isn't enough info on it's own. The gauge that the online level comes from is about 5 miles below the takeout... so as fast as it rises and drops knowing whether it's rising or falling can make a big difference. i.e. if the gague says 2000 but it's dropping... up at the put-in at that same time it might already be down around 1200... and vice versa if rising.
I haven't been on it at higher levels but I've run the upper from around 800-1300 and I'd consider that a bit bumpy but OK at 800 to nicely filled in but not too pushy at 1300.
Oh, and if it comes into that range I'd be down to hit it tomorrow.

Hmm. Guess I missed that boat. A little behind the curve today. Any sky runners out there?
It didnt get as high as projected. I guess Pilchuck snared all the water :)
