Big Creek (Pigeon R. trib.)

shortly after you go under the cataloochee road bridge (first car bridge you come to), you should be able to see the local store on river left. just past it, the creek is split by an island and rejoins a little further downstream into a stretch of flatwater. the creek is split by another island after the flatwater and both sides have a large creekwide strainer across them. the strainer on river right seems to be there for a long stay; one on river left is slowly giving away to the water.

took a look at it today at 738cfs - at this level you could duck and get under them but at levels you could actually run this comfortably, they're going to be a problem.
