Who knows the best way to do this?
I looked at the bridge when NF Skok was 450...Jefferson was below low (http://www.wkcc.org/levels/?f=st)
Any other gauges that give a good correlation?

Talk to Hoover but the creek is such low volume that you have to hit it on the up swing because it drains in a hurry. I know that the sf skok was around 1k on the down swing when jefferson was on the lower side of good when we hit it. I would have rather been out there when the sf skok was 1k and rising maybe even 1300-1500, I don't know about Nf skok coorelations but they are roughly similar gauge distances.

I heard to check the Dosewallips gauge. 200-250 is a rough low level.

NF Skok seems to work ok. 1300 was a pretty solid flow. 700 was a nice padded out mellow flow and looked like half of 1300. I looked at it once when the NF Skok was 400, and it looked like about half the water we saw at 700. The lake is a wildcard. But the NF gauge is decent.

let's go get it
