.. Ftl3 -lL -dl rmu ill <br />The survey results confirm a number of opinions that I have stated in earlier reports including: <br />• Nighttime use is popular <br />• The course is used every month of the year <br />• Many boaters prefer the higher flows <br />• . The prime use is in May -June which is when the highest flows exist <br />Some people report that it is one of the best courses available <br />• Some people prefer ;lows above 1000cfs and have boated those flows at the course <br />Optimal Flows <br />The optimal flow ranges reported do not take into account the fact that even intermediates, and <br />others that may prefer lower flows, will continue to use the Course at higher flows because there <br />are still intennediate sections of the course at those higher flows. In fact, although they may not <br />find the flows optimum, they will still boat the course and observe the more advanced boaters in <br />more difficult whitewater features. Other boaters will travel long distances to boat the high flows. <br />As a result, the optimum flow in terms of maximurn use will likely occur at flows above the <br />median ranges reported by Shelby. Moreover, the higher flows are best for competions. <br />Please contact me if you would like any supplemental opinions or more detailed <br />explanations. <br />Sin rely, <br />Gary M. lacy, P.E. <br />
