High Water run,Jan 14,05.I made a run from Brokenland Parkway to Savage at 4000cfs??, is what the gauge said, The first section to 95 bridge was easy fast water,after passing under the first low bridge it was 'very' pushy,and there was on bad tree in a very fast rapid,as I approached the ledges. I eddied out on the left to scout.My sneak that I normally take at high water on the extreme left was now a monster hole,and the hole on the bottom right had a pillow coming off the rockwall behind it 6-8' high!!,I'd call it class 5, It could of been run in the center but I shouldered my boat. The section right below(dogleg)was very fast and fun.I wouldnt reccomend running it at this level, its was very pushy. I dont think the rock on bottom right is undercut, I have seen it at extremely low water. Jason
