Description

Devil Creek Rapid is the first big test on the South Fork Salmon. River left provides a good vantage point for the scout. Depending on flows, there are options for the line. A large hole awaits on the bottom left that is best avoided. A portage on the right is possible if you have eddied out far enough upstream to get across.
