Description

As the name implies... The first hole is a pourover ledge. The second hole is playable, but trashy at lower levels. The standard line is to catch a first eddy in the center of the river and a second a little further down and to the right. From there, peel out and stay center right to the bottom. There is an alternative creek line down the left side of the first hydraulic and a "Hairy Ferry" line, crossing just above the first hydraulic. Around 3.5', the second hole is a smooth wave; above 6' the entire rapid is a glassy tongue.
