Post by boatbuster »

Noli is at 1,170

Emory is at 1,250

as of Thursday a.m. What Plateau runs will be going this weekend without more rain? Big South Fork? Daddy's Creek? Others? What about Daddy's Creek access?


I'm looking at the rain coming in early next week and thinking of waiting to see if it brings more runs up.

Without more rain -

Big South Fork, Clear Creek, and Nolichucky will all be very low but boatable.

French Broad (2 hours from Lenior City) and Chattooga (3 hours from Lenior City) will be running at medium flow levels.

Tellico, Obed, and Daddys are not running.

Check out this website for great flow information

I have no idea about water temps - never have been concerned about such a thing.

I have to correct one of my statements from my previous tread. I understand that the Obed (OBJ - Nemo) is in the low but paddleable range.

Jon,

Just bring your drytop - the water is warm enough to go without gloves or skull cap. If it rains and is windy you may want to stash a pair in your boat, but never have used them down TN at this time of year.

It's like end of Apr - May in Ontario.

Wish I were 1000 miles closer

I'd drive a thousand miles to attend, I'm just a bit too far away. Have fun. 8)
