It fluctuates daily based on the peace. The peace backs the pine up quite a ways. Lately it's been fairly high.

So no problems running a 22' jet?

You should be fine. I run it easy with my 17 foot kingfisher XD. do you have UHMW? the water levels have been fairly high for the year.

The water levels have been fluctuating 6 feet or more just about daily. The dams up river seem to change the levels daily. Today you would be good. Last week you could have walked across the peace

So option b is to truck in and setup camp somewhere. Think that is more advisable if the water level is inconsistent? Would hate to bring my brothers up and can't get to where we wanted to go.

Wild dog I work as a hydrographic surveyor and I do a little work on the peace for Hydro.
You can use info from the link above view guage data to see how the levels are fluctuating.

There is no telling how much water will be released, even when I am working I cant get 12hr forecast of water elevations.

Water levels are based on demand, the weather gets cold it tends to go up a little to meet the energy demands. or if they make a deal and sell
power over the grid.

Hope this helps a bit.
