What's the minimum level for running the Nolichucky / French Broad in a raft?

Just got a 12' bucket boat from GAF, want to try it out tomorrow. Looks like Noli is just under 1000 cfs now and FB is around 2000. What's the minimum level to run without too much boat abuse on either of these? Thanks, Jason

that's crazy...we do double express trips as low as 350. 500+ is PLENTY of water. <NT> TennJon New

I am with TennJon on this one. After 1 trip in a kayak, I guided commercially at 500 and no problems... tonyvarvoutis New

I think you'll find that going all the way to Hot Springs is the only way to go. <NT> Hellgrammite New
