Gauge Reading1300 cfs at Merced-2) El Portal to Route 49 at Lake McClure

This lovely little spot is easy to spot from the road. Its very good at 1300cfs. Loops, cartwheels, spins in my Allstar-M. Just a bit shallow for aggressive ends in some spots. I'd imagine 1500-1600 would be Primo for this hole. Then it would become more of a wave and eddy service would be lessened. Ive been here at 1050 and 800 and I must say 800 is bones minimum for anything but flatspins and surfs. 1050 is tricky for vertical maneuvers as the rocks are still shallow.
