Cheers to warm Flathead Lake water and the smallies that love it. The bright green bath water coming out of the dam was beautiful, and clear enough to sight fish.
We hammered the bass. That's all I'll say Groover.
Plenty of water for some hucking. How high y'all think that is?
It's a beautiful gorge with the feel of a desert river. High walls topped with sage and dust.
The whitewater was a blast. At 8000 cfs, there is some big shit, but we took the the toughest lines we could find and didn't see the wrongside of anyone's boat.

after crashing the nastiest line Buffalo Rapid had to throw at her. Zach raised an eyebrow.
As a heads up, locals said 10,000 cfs is the best level for this one.
This is the "Ledge" it was by far the biggest at that level with two good drops and a hole that would swallow a Hyside no problem. It's center right of the frame.

So, is it the "Ledge" or "Buffalo" rapid on that stretch? or both? I suppose I always thought that there was only one rapid on that stretch. That's what I get for thinking..........Looks like a nice surfin wave on top of that rapid. I'd like to check that out.
There are about 5 good III+ to IV rapids on that stretch. Three are double drops. The last one is Buffalo, the one in the picture is "Ledge," and there are sick surfing waves all along the way.
Oh yeah and I would add that they all seemed bigger than anything on the Gorge right now, except maybe "Fang." I'm not sure if it was because it was our first time on it or what, but it definately seemed bigger.
MMMMMM I love catching those little bass. FUN!
And I forgot to say - GREAT PHOTOS!
Thanks Jesse!
