Haw River

Anyone know what an inch of rain overnight would do to the flow? Trying to float it tomorrow.

You should be good, it may give it a little tint and speed it up but not enough to to make a major difference

What part? An inch of rain can really screw it up. I have been on it and had the water level rise over a foot in under an hour.

Above the damn in Saxapahaw. Appreciate the responses guys. Flow rate in Bynum shows like 415 CFS right now.

looking at the graph right now and its headed straight up. Most of my work has been just below Bynum but I have seen even modest amounts of rain turn it into a torrent. Keep checking Bynum but with all of that rain last night across its drainage area I would make other plans.

a little more research and at bynum they are predicting it to peak at 4.3ft Saturday morning
Up near Burlington they are predicting 2.9ft early Saturday morning
I am guessing it goes slightly higher.

So is that 2.9 feet above the mean reading? In other words the flow would be way high?

The readings should be in total feet. You can get a better idea when you compare what flood stage is at each location
Bynum has gone up 71 CFS in the last hour.

That helps a lot. I guess i was looking at a different graph. I'll wait a few hours and drive down to look at it. If it has come up almost a foot, the water is probably looking chocolate.

Grew up right on the haw where i could see it out my bedroom window....200-300 cfm is the best flow to fish on the Haw River ,NC gauge. 400-600 up there on the haw river gauge and I would not fish it as it is too high to fish good....ok for kayaking ......where as 500 -600 is kinda low on the Bynum gauge....i like the lower river to be 800-1000 cfm....

below 200 cfm on the upper river and you will be doing alot of dragging.

above 5-600 and you had better know what you are doing on the upper haw.

it got up to 900 on the Haw rive nc gauge , hate it for some one who tried to fish in that........
