Hey Frank, from what I've seen the only way to meet in the middle is to be on the river at different times of year... basically, rafters might get some access before the river is open as higher flows mimic winter flows... but... I have not seen exactly the numbers that folks are talking about. From the suitability studies it looks like the top flows for fishing were about 400 cfs or so (don't recall the exact numbers) and rafting started at 700-800 cfs with their prime being 1,100... that's a pretty wide gap. Seasonal flows might give the rafters something to work with without screwing up the fishing. Certainly there won't be recreational pulse flows... I think that's a dead idea and I have not heard anyone, not even AW, advocate for that. Where the final numbers really land will determine a lot and those numbers are the things I have not seen in detail... have not looked in a couple months though. Curtis should know. The TU guy who I was pointed to never replied to my emails and the FERC representative that I got in touch with basically told me that nothing was determined and didn't want to be pegged down on any number or number range. I'll check out Craig's post.
