| In early may this year (2013) my friend john and i kayaked the upper upper silver fork (sfa)from silver lake campground (88) to Forgotten Flat trail then hiked 1.5 miles out to silver fork rd.We came out on a dirt rd just up the road a bit from the dugald run put in.The run was about 3.75 river miles and dropped around 960 ft in that distance according to gps.We had a fun time running slides and falls in a cool granite landscape!We portaged a bit due to wood and elf flows but in general were both stoked on a fun adventure with cool minigorges.After doing the run i noticed the gauge below oyster creek on the dreamflows list 2day,and thought wow how convenient! I would guess we had between 150 cfs and 200cfs in there but Im horrible at guessing flows so...if thats correct and is the minimum flow boatable i would think around 300 cfs would be optimal for this run.
