try this: http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/DavisParkerSchedules.pdf (http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/g4000/hourly/DavisParkerSchedules.pdf)

Parker (Dam) rarely lets out more than 4 units.

Its one in the same-
4600 cfs = 1 unit

3 units @ Parker is good, 4 is better

I've been on 2 and less @ Bullhead... :screwy:

In a jet you'll be fine. I took an early morning cruise a couple weeks ago and didn't have any problems. There's a rock bar north of all the bars clearly marked with buoy's. If you can, try and get on the water early to enjoy the glass before too many of the rollbar's get on the water and mess it all up. 🍺🍺🍺
