The flow info for this reach should be updated. Perhaps blowouts from major flows have brought about significant changes over the years? Tim Jones and I ran it yesterday with 12 other paddlers and 1400 cfs is basic Class II with a few scratchy spots if you miss the main channel. Tim says that he has notes that 2700 cfs makes for a 'perfect level'. This applies to river running. The Ledges at the take-out are a unique feature on this reach with Class III characteristics and should be scouted (portage on river right when you see the gauge tower) for best lines and wood issues at all levels. As usual, blind corners should always be approached with caution due to potential strainers. Below is the proposed full revision for flow info. Technical issues with the AW site will not allow gauge adjustments at this time.

3500 Above Recommended
<3500 Runnable High
<2000 Runnable Medium
<1000 Runnable Low to Scratchy Low
<700 Below Recommended
