Thread: River stoke

Ok and now some water:

Here's a shot I got of my friend on Big Joe in the Lachine Rapids (Montreal).

Doesn't matter how low the water gets around here.

Fuck ya. Nice stoke.

Heading to Likely for the 20th annual UnLikely paddlefest this weekend... got me a date with a rapid that won last time.

River SUP from this low water season in CO.

High Falls on the Shavers fork of the Cheat.

Lochsa River, 5/25/13. Bachelor party with a longtime friend. 26 miles from the top down to the Lochsa Falls. Great water and great times! Plus we caught a fish on the Beaverhead that wasn't too bad.

It's a double wave hole setup, best 1800 to 2200, could get sticky, and from the glimpse I caught as u floated by it looks the same! IIRC, 5k was optimum for entire stretch. remember running the roadside micro creek that drops into the drainage from the eastside/canaan, can't recall the name but was ledgey and slidey. have made runs down otter, red creek, red run, N and Main Fks of BW, even tiny little Laurel Run. so many quality creeks and rivers flow into the dry fork, really quite amazing considering other EC drainages. The area in general is not without people but has a lot of empty wilderness with respectable relief that never sees any human traffic once you get off the beaten paths. Anyhow, thanks for the memories, very surfy run that is hard to catch with sun, pleasant weather like you did.

At 12,000 cfs and up check the black fork cheat just above Parsons, there's an old dam study site where some structure has constricted the river and channels up some hefty piles with a few feet of green in front. Another surfy gem down there is the Arden stretch of the Tygart, had features in from 450 cfs to 12,000+, 9,000 cfs was money for one spot in particular, but nobody seems to get after high water WV anymore save for the dries.

mellow but very fun upper Dry fork from above Harman down to Jenningston.

Word. Wrong about the last part, but nice trip down memory lane. Upper B @ 1000 anyone?

Ran the upper B at 600+ and the lower B at close to 1K back in the day. Not doing that again, EVER!

New recon 83 arrived... time to become creeker.
