A good start to an Opal trip - Jacob Cruser

Apr 27, 2020

Down to two portages this season, or zero if using the lower put in. Over 2,000 cfs this is a better put in for Classic Opal than the mine. Slideable down to 1,000 in Mehama.

There were still a handful of wood portages in 2018. If the wood ever disappears, this would be an excellent way to start a Classic Opal run when flows permit.
