So the water level was 77.55 this am. IIRC, the sandbar is covered at 77? I can't find a working webcam of the sand bar. Any help? Lastly, is there a site that shows the forecast water levels or releases? Thx!

https://m.waterdata.usgs.gov/ There is a 10ft wide sliver of a sandbar this morning.

Got a message from a friend who works for the Corp, regarding expected river levels.
Sounds like the Snake is running a bit high and they are having to dump some water for a week or two to alleviate that. Then there is the expected run off from snowmelt once the temps jump back up to Spring/Summer levels which is expected to require above normal river levels and expected current speeds.

Thanks to all. I like that Windy site! And yeah, I had checked the flow on the Snake at HC dam and it's running high at 21000 and the Salmon was almost 56000 and we haven't even had warm temps yet so I figured it would stay high or go higher.

I was at a beach Monday and just a sliver to launch off of, one at a time type of thing, it was really cool how people would team up and help one person get launched at a time. I’m bringing my hedge trimmers next time try to open up some space Smile

I thought we would be able to launch off the grass when the sandbar submerges. Am I remembering this incorrectly?

This weekend’s cool and rainy forecast is unlikely to bring out the crowds.

Remember to write your name and number on gear, stuff gets away fast when the river hits 400k.
