Water Leverls Around Smethport

I'm headed up to camp. I'd like to fish Potatoe Creek and Marvin Crick. How are these streams?
Also the Delayed Harvest at Kinzua may be a possibility. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, the streams down here are starting to clear up. Do you have a link for that gauge?

    Here is the link to Kinzua Creek gauge-->http://waterdata.usgs.gov/pa/nwis/uv?site_no=03011800

    It is currently over 800cfs.  For reference, in my experiences under 250 is high and tough to cross, but fishable.  150ish is about ideal for me.  It will take at least a few dry days before it is ok again

    Here is the link to the rest of the gauges --> http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/new/index.php?r=pa&m=real&w=map

    I talked to my boss tonight. He's working in Bradford right now. He said Kinzua Ck is an absolute mess. There is a ton of water that drains into that creek, and even though they had no rain today, there is water pouring into the creek. Not just from the tributary streams, either. Surface runoff. Calling for more rain again tomorrow.

    Fished Marvin, Sevenmile and the West Branch. Marvin was near impossible. Caught two bows and a brookie. Sevenmile would be nice if they're were fish in there and the west branch was fine
