Still plenty of eddies and scouting opportunities.<BR/>35 to 50 High to flood level. Fewer eddies and harder to hit. Boat scouting starts to be difficult. Holes start to have significant punch and major rapids start to get difficult.<BR/>50 to 75 Oh Boy! Rapids start to become continuous. More commitment, because less opportunity for stopping and scouting. Some drops, like avalanche, may require running blind.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383533.post-67241732440249377392008-07-18T04:17:00.000-06:002008-07-18T04:17:00.000-06:00the reports said that the sheep is runnable from 6...the reports said that the sheep is runnable from 6 to 60, so I think we are banking on that info and hopefully hit it next year at higher flows, but start low and get a feel for the river!!! Nathan and I just really want to see new rivers so this is a good chance for us! Come if you can, but your better off calling cause I think we are leaving to Calgary area around 10 from Cardston and will be hitting the Elbow. Then Saturday we will be hitting the Sheep!!! 403-894-7773Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383533.post-31943663619699061762008-07-17T22:09:00.000-06:002008-07-17T22:09:00.000-06:00Sheep is getting really low (6.5 cms).

You could still slide down the drops though.chris goblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747964476242223294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383533.post-66303546877896592362008-07-17T18:11:00.000-06:002008-07-17T18:11:00.000-06:00Nathan and I are planning to go to Elbow River Fri...Nathan and I are planning to go to Elbow River Friday evening and then hit the Sheep River on Saturday (both rivers are near Calgary)!!!
