We're going to be camping along the south fork of the Stillaguamish river this weekend and I was thinking of bringing my gear for a little fun. But I was wondering how the river is flowing. If it's going to be high, I'd just assume leave my gear at home and heard the kids away from the water. Anyone know how it's flowing? Just about 2 miles downriver from Granite Falls?
Thanks!
Flow of the Stilli?

Its pretty High off of I-5 in stanwood. There is normaly a good 100yd bank and it was maybe a 30yd bank last sunday! But fish were biting!
RE:Flow of the Stilli?
The south fork is pretty small and mainly a sea run fishery. There are some nice places to fish up there that are pretty chill, even in moderately high water. The gauges show that it's dropping and forecast a steady decline. But I'd never go camping without my gear. Just saying.

I use USGS to see what the flows are. According to it, the level appears to be rising.

However, if I'm going somewhere and will be anywhere close to water I'd say take the gear. You don't have to use it, but it always hurts a little when you get there and find some nice spots and had left it home.

Thanks guys. I'll be bringing my gear and take a look when I get there. Just a bit nervous with the kids near the water.
