Thompson River

I'm over in this neck of the woods quite often. During higher flows the water remains relatively clear; however, I would venture to class sections of this river as as threesy-foursy during Spring runoff, soley because of a section just upstream from Snider that contains numerous submerged snags between large boulder gardens (similar to the dalles on rock creek). The deadfall and strainers only become visible during low water conditions. This would be a VERY dangerous place to swim. However, there are some reaches upstream that harbor some beautiful wave trains and pool drop runs.
