About River Conditions
I built River Conditions because I found myself constantly needng to check the flows on rivers I was going to fish, but getting frustrated every time I had to use the USGS website and dig through thousands of rivers and then go through a massive page of graphs and data I don't need just to find the current flows.
Navigating USGS isn't that hard on a desktop, but when you're 50 miles outside of the nearest town on a fishing trip and you have just a sliver of data to check the flows for tomorrow's float, it's a little cumbersome. River Conditions gives you just the data you want: current flows. I've even added in a popular rivers to easily find major rivers in the west, as well as a search by state so you can quickly get the river you need.
If you would like to submit a river to the Popular Rivers list, send me an email at coltenvantussenbrook@gmail.com.
