Hi,
When I load an existing modflow model with "Modflow.load", sf1 and sf2 in the bcf package are respectively specific yield and storage coefficient, the online manual says the opposite (https://flopy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/source/flopy.modflow.mfbcf.html).

From the documentation:

"""
sf1 (float or array of floats (nlay, nrow, ncol)) – specific storage (confined) or storage coefficient (unconfined), read when there is at least one transient stress period. (default is 1e-5)

sf2 (float or array of floats (nrow, ncol)) – specific yield, only read when laycon is 2 or 3 and there is at least one transient stress period (default is 0.15)
"""

sf1 is specific storage under confined conditions or storage coefficient (specific yield) if unconfined. This is consistent with the online documentation for modflow 2005. I think we could update the verbiage "storage coefficient" to specific yield to clarify.

Removed the bug label and resassigned this as a documentation issue.
