One of the criteria is how frequently the Musky floods. The rating scale is:<BR/>10 - flooding every 1.5-2 years<BR/>7 - flooding every 3-5 years<BR/>3 - flooding every 6-10 years<BR/>1 - no flooding<BR/> <BR/>I typically keep my gage settings at the 7 day setting and know it can be changed to up to 31 days of data, but can you go back a month at a time or a year at a time to see how frequently the Musky topped 6' ? Maybe you have a good handle from past experience.<BR/> <BR/>Thanks,<BR/> <BR/>EricAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069939498666747672noreply@blogger.com
