Description

if portaging Baileys this is the crux of the run. A large eddy immediately river left below the 1st rapid after portage, signifies the top of Whales Tail. Pull out here and scout Whales Tale. At high flows the hole at the bottom gets very beefy. Start center and work right to avoid the hole on the bottom in the center to the right.
