There won't really be a "normal" until the Dam repairs are done. Basically if they are running any water at all either generation or just sluice it's too high to wade.
They will start or should start opening windows for wading when the head water elevation reaches 628-625 and that window will get bigger as it continues dropping down to around the low 620's where they like it to be during construction.
The water was 644 this morning...so it will be a while for wading to happen. My guess mid-June....
Hope this helped.
