Low Flow, Let's Go.
| Reporter | Ethan Kleinrichert |
| Gauge Reading | 150 cfs at TELLICO RIVER AT TELLICO PLAINS, TN |
| Flow | Low Flow |
NOTE: Adventurous and some light portaging.
We took a 10' 5' RMR Storm Raft and 2 AIRE Tributary Spuds down the 7-8 mile stretch starting from above the bridge that is upstream of the 6' ledge and ending past the junction on river right.
All taller ledges were able to be run in both the raft and spuds, Baby Falls was runnable and lappable at this flow. Great for spending time hucking multiple times.
Directly below Baby Falls was shallow, but navigable on the river right side in both raft and spud. Jared's Knee was navigable in both raft and spud, with small short moments of being stuck.
This flow definitely runs with the right technical rafting skill and the willingness to get out from time to time to push off of a few rocks here and there - not everyone's idea of a good time, but we will be back for it again!
