Not sure if this is a kosher question but on the government water levels website, at what height does the C/V blow out? 

It's such a long drive for me it would good to know before hand if it's blown out.

look for the spikes. if the spikes are large on the graph chances are its blown. if your wondering about tomorrow, if we get the rain predicted it will be blown.

It's not that it "blows out" at a particular water level, it has more to do with a spike than the absolute number.

Watch for the graph going parabolic and avoid fishing those days.

Edit: I see bigblockfox types faster than I do. LOL

I've seen it become completely unfishable in matter of hours.

Vedder's watershed is pretty big ~1200 square km. Capilano's for comparison is about 200 square km.

It doesn't take much rain for Vedder to raise significantly.

So when looking the weather forecast take in to account surrounding area.

This coming night, for example, it's 10mm of rain in the forecast for Chilliwack Lake Provincial Park. Considering the area – that's a lot of water. I wouldn't be surprised if the water levels raise by 10 cm by tomorrow morning.

the river can be so high as to be dangerous and/or the water so dirty fishing is a low return prospect. As for height if it goes above 2.3 meters I prefer to find somewhere else to fish or I just stay home if everything locally is blown. A big dump of rain can put almost every river in the FV and Squamish out for days or even weeks.
