Mail od Overdicka w sprawie pegli na Pitzbachu

we were scouting Pitzbach (Plangeross - St. Leonard and Hairlach -
Wiesle), but I think it was bit too late - 4-5 PM :) and the water
grown 30 cm on Wiesle gauge during coffee break. But there is also
lack of information (or even contradictory) about the gauge. Do you
know, what are proper water levels for these sections? (and which
gauge - we localized one in Wiesle - was 155-160 cm, in St. Leonard -
was 40 cm, and in Ritzen - was 75 cm).

yeah the gauges are a bit confusing. i never drove up higher than hairlach, 
so no idea about upper sections/gauges.
we use three gauges: ritzenried at the weir, wiesle on river right (you can
see it from the road) and wenns (near the last weir with water divertion; this 
gauge is the one on kajak.at; but you never drive down to check it)
i mostly refer to that online gauge.

i did it in may 06 with low to medium water: wenns 0,43m; wiesle 1,20m; ritzenried 1,55m
i did it in june 06 with high water: wiesle 1,50m; ritzenried 1,75m
i did it in july 07 with low water, only pitzschlucht: wenns 0,38m
one day after in noon with high water: wenns: 0,58m
same day in late afternoon, fucking high water (the weir scared me deeply and a swimmer 
    in the gorge 90% is lethal): wiesle 1,50m
i did it in late july 07: wiesle 1,30m nice medium water
then i have a strange notice: mid august medium water: ritzenried 0,60m; wiesle 0,60m; 
    seems there is one meter missing

so it seemed either you had real high water; or the gauges changed.
