We ran Coke Oven trail on Sunday 11/6/05 and were able to cross the river at Cochran which was very nice. No long ride out the same trail we just came in on.
I found stream flow data on the usgs website I thought might be useful for everyone for future planning if you want to see if a river crossing is a possibility. There are no guarantees with any river crossing so beware, but on the day we ran the flow was about 37 cfs at the Kelvin gaging station and we had no problems. The website lists all kinds of historical data so enjoy. I've posted links for both Coolidge Dam releases and Kelvin station flows.
