As far as I know, this is a relatively played spot. I am trying to gather information. I'm watching the water levels change looking for playable waves.
14,000cfs. A medium sized wave with eddy service. Foam pile looks steep. Looks good for flat spins, maybe more. I HAVE NOT BEEN ON THIS WAVE YET. If anybody out there has, I'm looking for any info I can find.
There are other small elements that have formed in along the river right shore but I it's shallow on that side. On the river left side there is a large tree in the water.
40,000 CFS -Flood Stage! NOTE: I have only scouted from shore, I have not paddled these waves.
There were several elements to look at. Some nice looking waves to surf, some good sized, fast waves with nice foam piles, but not much for eddy service. A person could hit several waves in one run then walk back up. One major keeper, it's not wide, but there is a powerful looking upstream flow. The ledge down the river right shore are under water, there are come small tree's and one good size tree, watch out for them.
