Ideal Water Levels on the Gunpowder

The Gunpowder is at 122 cfs, clear and water temperature is in the low 50’s. Thanks to guide Bryan Donoway for the following stream report.

High Water and Spinner Falls on the Gunpowder

The Gunpowder is running clear at 153 cfs and water temperatures have steadied in the 54 – 58 degree mark.
