Pend Orieller River

Post by chinookslammer » Wed Jun 22, 2011 3:05 pm

Does anybody know how the water level is compared to memorial weekend? I usually launch south of Davis Creek but we had to launch on the road last time LOL. Can you launch at the Cusick launch? Thanks for any info.

Yes, the river is much higher than Memorial weekend. You can still launch at Cusick but last I checked (the 17th) you had to wade to the dock. It peaked the 16th and 17th and is now on it's way back down.

You can check the flows daily here http://water.weather.gov/ahps2/hydrogra ... 1,1,1,1%22

Right now it is flowing at just over 114,000kcfs. Just remember it is no wake until it gets back down to 85,000kcfs.

Good luck, and post reports!
