| I'm a FITW newbie so sorry for not being in the know, but does it come up with rain very often in the fall? I know the gauge is way downstream but is it worth watching? |

I'd be curious about this too from any seasoned vets.
Although it does seem like it needs a lot of rain to compensate for the lack of snowmelt - if it broke 200cfs and was still climbing, I'd be tempted to sneak a peak with a MM back-up plan. ------------- “The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.” |

It'll take a few rains to saturate everything, once everything is soggy it'll probably come in again. ------------- The line will become apparent 978-273-7723 |

| It runs in the fall, but it is a flash run, meaning if it dumps down rain you gotta run up and get it ASAP, in a matter of hours it can be gone. If you like it low you can wait a bit longer. |

Yeah - we've hit FITW it in the fall before, but it's fairly flashy. Thankfully - there's a handy backup nearby. How about the Cooper? Anyone ever hit that one in the Fall or does all of the inflow get absorbed by Cooper Lake? ------------- -Jay |

Looking low today, but scrapable. ------------- Nomad |

There is a lot of rain in the forecast for Snoqualmie Pass starting Thursday-Friday.
Might be a contender. ------------- “The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.” |
