WHAT THE FLOW MEANS HERE
UNDER 335
Low and clear. Go light, go at first light.
335 — 750
Prime. Wadeable, fish spread through the system.
750 — 1,200
Pushy. Fish the edges and the softer seams.
OVER 1,200
High water. Wade with real care, or take the day off.
Flow and gauge height come straight from the USGS gauge at Pineville, minutes downstream of us. Weather and rainfall are pulled live for Altmar. Nobody writes this by hand — it is the river talking. Releases from Lighthouse Hill can change the flow within the hour.
HOW TO READ THIS PAGE

Three numbers decide your trip

FLOW · CFS
Where you can safely stand
335 cfs is the licensed baseline at Lighthouse Hill from 1 September. Between 335 and 750 the whole system is wadeable. Over about 750 the crossings you used last week are no longer the crossings you can use today, and over 1,200 a lot of the river is off limits on foot.
RAIN · 72 HR
Whether there are fresh fish
Rain is what pulls fish out of the lake and up the river. Three quarters of an inch over three days usually means a push. A dry week means the fish are settled where they already sit, and you should fish accordingly rather than covering water looking for movement.
24 HR TREND
Which way it is going
A river dropping after a bump is often better than the bump itself — fish move on the rise and settle into holding water as it falls. A river still climbing means wait a day if you can.
WHY THIS PAGE EXISTS

We live minutes from this gauge

We built this because we kept getting the same phone call: is the water fishable this weekend. Now you can see it yourself before you commit to the drive — and if the answer is yes, we have a cabin with room for the truck, the trailer and the waders.

Bookmark it. Send it to whoever you fish with. It costs you nothing and it is here every season.

RUN ALERT

We will email you when the fish are in

One email when the flow bumps and the first push comes through. Not a newsletter, no schedule — only when it is worth driving up. Two or three a season.
