Caution on the Tobin Sieve Hazards
| Reporter | Joel Passovoy |
Every year we hear more stories of terrifying spots in the tobin stretch of the N. Feather, and there is usually an element of surprise in the comments that come along with the photos. Get a clue folks. This stretch is extremely hazardous, all one needs to see this, is to be observant of the large number of sieves in the rocks on shore that don't get covered by boating flows. There is no reason to think that the rest of the channel is any different than the banks. This run is fun and the moves aren't that difficult, but considerable thought and caution should be exercised before one goes exploring anything but the tried and true lines.
