EAST BRANCH FLOW NUMBERS
•Under 100 cfs.  Wading is possible all over the river.  Look for deeper holes in warmer months.
• 
•100-200 cfs.  A great flow to fish. You can wade safely, and the fish are spread out.
• 
•200-250 cfs.   Wading is a little tougher, but if the flow has been stable you can have good fishing.  The fish will be in the softer currents, and close to the bank.
• 
•250-300 cfs. Wading and fishing is difficult, but not impossible if there has been a steady flow and the water is clear.
• 
•300+ cfs. Very, very difficult. Not advisable.
