I'm not tracking? What does virtual current flow mean?

Give us an example of where you've seen this. Typically when a gauge says "virtual flow" it means that's it's an approximation drawn from multiple gauges using some math to determine what the flow likely is in a particular drainage. These are not always the most reliable beacause localized rain can change flows dramatically, particularly in the early spring where you might have rain on snow events.

But I may be way off...
The line will become apparent

A simple example before the DOE gauge went online was the Icicle.

We did the following.
(Peshastin - Plain) * .7406

In that case it looks like there just isn't a gauge, not sure why it says "virtual." It says "3rd party" on the river page so maybe there is a stick gauge.
