Blue

I've run this canyon a dozen times both in whitewater rafts and fishing frames. I've seen flipped and pinned boats even near the 550cfs range, requiring tresspassing on BVR(below spring creek). Now there are cellular trail cams lining the river below Spring Creek take out so I wouldn't dare run below 500cfs in a fishing frame(ranch managers have sherrif's office/game wardens on speed dial). 300 CFS being listed as 'low runable' is very misleading for 75% of the watercraft that are going down this stretch(fishing frame). Please study the public private boundaries post land swap(not accurate on OnX) before you run this float as every landowner WILL and DOES prosecute tresspass and don't care if you've got old maps.
