Just act like everything up river from Booger Rays is closed tomorrow 👍 I’m putting the Flattie in tomorrow 👍
how's the water quality up your way typically on fridays mid morning? I need to do some prop testing on friday for this weekends race. Do you think I'd be able to make several laps over say an hour to test my speeds etc? Or will there likely be surf/wake boats up there by then?

If you are new and running a prop it’s probably best to stay south of river island until it comes up to 9000 cfs. Friday is 9000+ all day. Still, above river island there are some distinct channel lines to follow until you are past the “mine tailings” in the ski slot canyon before River Hogan.

Sorry we’re not in town to show you the lay of the land.

Water has been up this summer but still some spots to be aware of, especially on Thursday’s.

Below Fox’s you want to hang left heading up river by the overhead lines but not too close to shore as there’s a shallow spot there as well.

Below Fox’s you should have no problems.

On a Thursday I don’t know that I’d venture on up to the dam if you need 22.

Thank you for the info, someday I'll make it. I like the prop I have and my depth gauge first mate wife won't make for a fun day then.

It’s a pretty easy read on Thursdays almost easier when the level is way down. Where heading out tonight or I’d show you the way.
Appreciate the offer! Already off the water and heading home in the morning won't be back until after labor day and during the week again. I prefer weekdays. Thank you again

Gotta shout out a bid thanks to Booger Ray for reaching out today and offering us his launch ramp for prop testing tomorrow. Hopefully we get some good water and good results. Thx Booger man, I really appreciate it.

Good luck to you this weekend! A little too hot for me this weekend and the wife has a cold.

I hope she feels better soon. Having a cold in the heat of summer is no fun.

Thanks, cattails for launch tomorrow then.
It's not that low on Thursdays actually. They let it down some Wednesday night and it comes back up in the morning Thursday. Regardless of the day you need to know a small handful of shallow spots that would eat your prop if you accidentally run across them.

Met a guy at foxes didn’t catch his name but he had something to do with the races. Forgot they were going on so thanks for reminding us and congrats on marriage. We ended up going down and watching for a couple hours Saturday pretty fun!
