In a drift boat, the sky's the limit. I caught a fair amount of fish at 26,000 last spring. A little tough to backrow to fish through spots multiple times, but otherwise not too bad. The river can run at 10,000 for days on end in the irrigation season and provide great fishing all summer.
If you're with a good guide, you'll catch fish at anything below flood stage.
