Salmon, South Fork

American Whitewater staff got our for an evening trip on the Methodist run that continued on down to Otter Bar. It was a great flow for this run with lots of bouncy fun whitewater and a few holes to avoid. For the most part the run was high-water class III+ with small eddies and swift current. Opinions differed on the rating of the last two miles but at this higher flow I would call it class IV, with Lower Indian Crossing being a particularly tricky rapid with a line that was not easy to see without getting out on river left to scout. We had a raft flip here but were able to pick up the pieces and continue on down the run.
