I changed the slope again, the spreadsheet was correct.

The SLOPE is .0008 !!!!!!
with .0003 there is no bed load because tau < critical

 

Warning:  look carefully at what size the material is (it's gravel)
so expect some strange things from the methods that were
developed solely from sand data / rivers.  This is an actual river
in Utah.
