Low Water Run

125cfs is as low as it can be run. Very bony at this level.

Encountered 5 river wide logs that each had to be portaged. Could get tough to stop above some of them at high flows. First one was in the left channel right after the put-in.

Biggest rapid was too low at 125cfs and landed into a pile of rocks. Probably better with more water.
