Look like a great flow for the weekend Idaho Power is providing this September 25, 2013 update to keep boaters informed about flow conditions on the Snake River downstream from Hells Canyon Dam. Minimum flows below Hells Canyon Dam will continue to be the three-day average inflow to Brownlee Reservoir. The current three-day average inflow to Brownlee Reservoir is between 9,500 cfs and 10,000 cfs. Forecasted precipitation over the next few days should help maintain inflows to Brownlee Reservoir. This flow information is updated daily and can be found at Brownlee Reservoir Three-Day Average Inflow. Boaters should check flows daily in preparation for any trip on the river. Currently, flows on the Salmon River at Whitebird are between 3,500 cfs and 4,000 cfs. Flows on the Salmon River have increased in the past few days in response to recent precipitation. Idaho Power will continue to provide email updates to the boating community as conditions change and we update our operational plans. For current information, we recommend that boaters in Hells Canyon utilize the flow monitors located at the Hells Canyon Visitors Center, Pittsburg Landing, Cache Creek, Heller Bar, Hells Gate Marina, and at the Forest Service’s Hells Canyon National Recreational Area office in Clarkston, Washington. River users may also call 1-800-422-3143 for the latest stream flow and Brownlee reservoir water level information. Flow information for Hells Canyon can also be found on the Idaho Power water information website. Forecasted flows provided on the company’s website and flow monitors are approximate and are subject to change depending on generation and system reliability needs.
