Lochsa

Ran at 5 feet on bridge at Selway first day and 7.5 feet at bridge the second day. Which was around 10,000 on first day and 19,000 second day. There is confusion as to which gage on the river to trust for CSF. But this is big water boating. We used the guide service out of Three Rivers rafting to run the lines and follow them as scouting all these drops at these levels would take all day and logistically impossible to do and remember. They also provided great pointers in running big water along the way. Highly recommend hiring Gus and Hunt from Three Rivers to guide you down this at high water if your not familiar with the river. They have done the river over 1500 times. A flip at these levels could easily turn into a disaster. We ran 12 to 14 foot cat boats but there were people there in rafts as well, but just not a lot of them (If you decide to do s 12 foot cat be prepared to get really rowdy). The only river advice would be above 6 feet on the river gage by the bridge by the Selway means run Lochsa Falls on the far left bank. Like right under the tree. If you take the traditional line on the right at these flows it flips around 50% of the boats which is why people line up there to watch. It's not the first hit that flips people its the second lateral. There is a reason why the next rapid is called picking up the pieces!
