This is the gauge at the Falls Road crossing. A gauge height of about 2 ft is around normal in the winter and it's currently over 6.5 feet, but dropping. Median flow for this date over the past 12 years is 122 CFS and it is currently at almost 1,500 (also dropping). I'm not sure at what point it would be considered safe, but it definitely isn't right now. As it is a tailwater, the flow will also be partially impacted by the city of Baltimore. You might be able to find information about planned releases of water from Prettyboy Reservoir by poking around their website.

I just tried calling the Backwater Angler store but got no answer.To view this discussion on the web visit https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tidal-potomac-fly-rodders/-/ccH_13ck1OQJ.--
