For many years that 1500cfs is the low fall flow that is OK.

I prefer 2000 for fishing because the fish get a little spooky at 1500 but the wading is really easier then.

Bill, I know you remember back in the 70's when the flow got down around 700 cfs one year. You could wade completely across the American in many places.

I think once in the 1960s they put it at 500 cfs for one day to work on something?

That is the day I was above water and it was like the fishing the Upper Sac.

It was waste deep all the way across.

Caddis were hatching and the 'Halfpounders' were bitting.
