A group of us ran this stretch at low water in January - around 200cfs or so.

Should be strongly noted that at these low water levels, there is a strong sieve right below the crux move on White Maiden - we had someone who could pulled into an underwater room and thankfully flushed out quickly but things go could much differently for others. Pushes consequence of the rapid at low water above its rating.

The steady summer long irrigation releases from Isabella reservoir encourage trees and brush to grow thick at the rivers edge.
There are number of big holes and breaking waves in this rapid, but there is an easy straight line just right of center.
Jerry Sickler guides his raft crew between the holes.

middle line-camera angle 'might' be making this
look a 'little' steeper than it actually is-not sure.

I missed the center of the rapid b/c of the big
boulder I stood behind. This is the 'classic'
line straight down the middle between the 2
'goalposts'
