Description
From the pool below Strippers, work your way to left of center for a playhole at the top of the next rapid. You may need to hang out here and wait for a break in the line of rafts. At 2 feet, once again you have two choices. The first is to float down and catch the wave on the fly. The second is to run Pig Farmers Falls. On the top left there will be two large boulders with water dropping between them. Paddle from right to left. Take a right boof stroke to launch over the hole below. The hole is backed up by a rock, so you really need to hit the boof and land in the eddy. After surfing, there is a HUGE eddy on the left. In the summer there will be a line of 20 or more paddlers waiting to surf. When you get tired of waiting, get in the main flow and catch the wave train down to the pool above Upper Keeney.
At flows above 4 feet, Pig Farmers becomes a large hole -- stay away!
FYI: While you are surfing the wave, you can NOT see up stream at the many rafts that WILL take your head off.
