Jason Hall and myself ran this sections Sunday 2/6/11. Super low water, another half inch to inch lower and we would have been in for it. All in all it was a good day. It was my first time on the run. The gauge at the take-out was reading about 6 inches when we took out. According to Jason, who has ran in many times at different levels (higher) said he hardly recognized the run until we got to the last 4 or 5 rapids. I don't recall the order of the rapids. Whale tail was sketchy at such a low level, a rock on just to the left of the tail comes into play that created a recirculating eddy back in the hole that the tail was making. Nothing to bad, I was put into it, just had to man handle the water a little bit and paddle back towards the tail and grab the downstream water. Jason said at higher levels that rock is not in play but actually forms a decent hole. Room of Doom was super sweet at the level actually, of course It was my first time and I dont know about it at higher levels. It was a good boof and you felt like you clear your head by an inch from the over hanging rock that forms the Room. Just boof hard. Other than that, there's not much more to tell. 6 inches is definitely the absolute minimum. I would recommend no lower than 9 or 10 inches. see ya out there.
