Fish Ramp Rapid

Fish Ramp is the Crux of the run and is class IV at medium levels and up. It is a rather unique rapid and appropraitely named, as a concrete boat ramp enters from the left immediately at the bottom of the rapid. I am told it is, or was, used in fish collection and relocation efforts around the Fall Creek reservoir. It's mostly a long low angle rock slide with a hole in the middle, and an intimidating looking pilow on the right that becomes an explosed rock with water splashing up on it at lower flows. The line is mostly down the middle, avoiding the rocks on the left and right at the bottom. At the time of this writing, there is some wood on the right behind the big boulder at the bottom as well. A long recovery pool follows this rapid. This is also a convenient takeout location. Below this rapid the run is mostly class II with ample flat water until you get to the takeout rapids at the reservoir.
