The Notch has changed as of 12/31/18. I paddled it a week prior to this date and it was as normal. Typically, you run it river right, just left of a tree stump/root ball and slide down a small flake (as in the picture in the description). Now, much less water is running to the right side for some reason at 1000 cfs. If you attempt river right, you will essentially beach yourself on rock and need to push yourself along until you can scrape over the other side (at 1000 cfs or lower). For a cleaner line, it looks as if you'll need to go river left.
