Description

Referred to simply as Public Enemy. This one comes up fast after a braided riffle. Easiest route begins in mid-channel and running slightly right of mid-current, but the eddy line is strong at times.  A more adventurous line is the far left line "slot", along the bank through small boulders.  Depending on flow, a quick right turn is needed to avoid boulders as this line has been responsible for a few boat pins.
