I agree - we've heard lots of people talking about how the hole was crap now, because of the rock,
but I disagree. Around 650 - 750 you can spin all day, and throw as clean of an end as you can, in
my case, pretty sorry. I've seen a couple of people tearing up the air at around 625 - 675. So, do
not be afraid. This spot is still worth it, especially for the closeness and ease of access from
the campground. Which brings up another note -

It costs $3.29 to park at the campground. Pay it. See it as insurance. Several boaters have had
their vehicles vandalized by idiotic locals on the opposite side of the river. If you see one of
these people messing with a car, please run over them.

the hole at big rocks has a big stinky rock underneath it that will getcha below 400cfs. I
recommend getting in there around 700 or 800. My 7' 7" will go end to end in there at that level. Edit
