Description
Great surfwaves in the upper portion of the run are easiest to catch as the river level drops. 2.7-2.9 ft. are premium and are distinctly divided into an upper and lower set of waves with some riffles in between. These start to completely wash out above 3.5 feet. At lower levels, there are some interesting breaking waves in the first set of waves about halfway through and left center.
