Ran this stretch 11-16-2009 at 1040cfs. As the post below says this run has a big water feel on a small creek. There are not a lot of larger eddies, and the big ones are still a little difficult to catch due to the flows. Leland's book ranks this as only a small step up from the gorge section. However, that ranking is at around 250-425cfs. At 1000 (which is what these special releases have been around) it is much more difficult. 3.3 miles in 25 minutes, that includes us just floating through a lot of the easier parts.
