The Hooch was a flowin.
I went out just after the heavy rain from Francis and Ivan and it was quite a blast. Ivan was by far the wildest I've ever seen the river, 6-8' holes just north or the Jumping Rock at Sandy Creek. On Friday the 17th the river was somethign special. My trip was a bit soured by 2 rookies that I happened to see fall out and I spent a good bit of time getting them safely to shore. But they made it. We even managed to save one of their boats. If you're in the market for a $200 red Galyans kayak, the other one is somewhere still in the river. Anyhow, the river is back to normal to high levels now, went out again today check out how the river has changed. Just south of the Palisades stay to the far left and there are some new cuts and changes in some old ones. I just found this site and its cool to have somewhere to talk about it. Taker easy.
