Sorry, for some reason I was thinking the Granite gauge was at Kobe above where the LC comes in...Cadster was right.

I would highly suggest Numbers over RG at 400/600 comparitavely. You get a lot more action in the Numbers + the float in/out of the Gorge sucks at low water.

Another vote for Pine Creek & Numbers over Royal Gorge.

I know the Numbers is at a higher elevation, but wouldn't the Numbers get much better mid day winter sun than the Gorge?

I boated both the Numbers and the Royal Gorge a week ago. From Sunshine to Boateater was completely in the shade except for one spot below Sledgehammer. There was also a lot of shade on the Numbers from the high banks and trees, too. The sunset in BV has to be close to 3 PM.
