All i know is around 70-80 cu/sc good for salmon fishing,not crossing river.Enviroment Canterbury web site have river flows for Rangi and every other river in Canterbury.Rangi at the moment around 85 cu/scs.With good fine weather over the next few days,river flow should only get lower till Wednesday evening.
Cheers for that
Now your hunting report next week.Quote:

What they dont take in to account is the Rangi is a much narrower watershed than many other rivers and that extra 10 can really fuck you up if its a bad day.
Walk the streams,if you have doubt.Dont driver thru them.

This website gives you all of NZ's river flows if they have a gauge in them. Extremely useful.
