Description

Full on lowhead with huge boil line at mid-high water (3.5-6').
Scout and sneak right. Retentive in the center. At low water - 3 feet or so - the sneak is kind of rocky. If you prefer, boof moving left to right as close to the left of the inch thick smooth curved peice of steel about 30' from the right side which marks the edge of the deeper pour over.
There have been issues with life gaurds making folks portage (gaurds are there late June-August).
