As someone mentioned... the link posted is the source data that any other river flow data supplier would use... why not just go to the source?

Same with coastal weather forecasts, NOAA is the source data and yet a dozen or more outfits extrapolate NOAA's data and call it their own.... They don't always read the same, between NOAA and the others. The further from the source, the more corrupt the data could be. Stick with the source, it'll be the most accurate the majority of the time.

Since the only stations on rivers are controlled by one agency, there are not a lot of websites. The only other one I know of that tries to predict flow is NOAA. http://www.nwrfc.noaa.gov/rfc/

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.

I fish not because I regard fishing as being terribly important, but because I suspect that so many of the other concerns of men are equally unimportant, and not nearly so much fun. ~ John Volker

I've got a decent one on mine that shows current levels but not predictions. Stop by my desk and I can show it to you..
