HOLY $&#%!!! That’s what all of us said this morning after taking a look at the river. We have an estimated flow out front of our shop around 9 to 10,000 CFS, while Hale Eddy is at 5,520 CFS, meaning the feeder streams are just raging – pumping about 6,000 CFS into the West Branch between Deposit and Home Pool. The water looks like Nestle Quik, but is dropping rapidly. Needless to say, wading is completely impossible throughout the system. We are hoping to see it drop significantly throughout the day today. Feel free to give the shop a call to get the most up-to-date reports. All that we’ll be doing is staring at the torrent out side.
