Large log submerged roughly 12 to 18 inches below surface (during normal summer flow). Sitting at a shallow angle (rising from river right to river left). The log ends about two feet from the left canyon wall. There is no possibility of negotiating around the log, your bow will get stuck under it and you will be trapped. Ouch! Uppon close inspection by swimming up to the log, it appears that it is lodged very well and will take very heavy flows to clear it from the pool. Major bummer!
