Trip Report

I stopped by Fifty Hole yesterday evening for a little Park and Play. Flow was around 700 cfs, so the 'Hole' should have been rockin'. I was extremely disappointed with what I saw. What used to be a playable hole was nothing more than a mild surf wave. Whatever formed the pourover must have been pushed downstream. Also, the eddy to the right is filling in with silt. It's too shallow to practice rolls (like you'd want to) near the bank. Hopefully, the hole will come back, but for now it's not worth the trip unless you're really desperate to paddle in funky water. I'm still wondering what those huge clumps of brown foam are that are trapped in the eddy.
