Early Season Selway Trip
| Reporter | Daniel Cottam |
| Gauge Reading | 7000 cfs at SELWAY RIVER NR LOWELL ID |
| Flow | Medium Flow |
Ran the Selway from April 15 to 18th. It ran between 7000 to 9000 on the Lowell gauge. Even at these flows the large rapids were still very big with many large holes. At this level this is a Kayak and Cat boat level for those who are not proffesionals. Dry suites at this time of year are a must since a swim in Ladle will leave you swiming for 3 miles. At this flow the sneak line on the right of Double Drop is in. Running Ladle down the middle seemed like the easies and safest choice. Goat rapid was a joy with all its twisting moves. Camping is great all over the place.
