Low water float on the Skykomish
« on: October 09, 2015, 10:19:18 PM »
Was planning on floating the Sky tomorrow, but just checked the gauge and realized I've never floated it anywhere near this low.

About 600cfs at Gold Bar. I've only floated it upwards of 2000.

Anybody know if it is floatable in a drift boat at this level?  I was thinking of Ben Howard to Lewis Street, where there are only a couple riffles.

Water is going to be really skinny. Looks finally navigable above the bridge and I've seen some boats at Lewis St but I assume you're going to bang rocks intermittently. I'd do it.

Ended up with boat issue this morning (of course), so just hit the bank. Nothing near Monroe, but had a couple little silvers up by Sultan. Still very bright, but probably need another day of rain to get a few more fish up there.
