This is the FITW laps discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the FITW laps | Trip Page

If the flows are good (med-low) I'll be running laps on FITW Wednesday evening.  If anyone is new to the run, I'd be happy to show them the lines.

Tom

Hey Tom, I've been jones'n to do FITW. Never seemed to work out. If you can do the left/right/middle/paddlehard thing that would be great. I'd be leaving from Redmond-Willows.    Liam

Ashley, it is tough to say because the gauge does not correlate well with the run (it is way downstream with several tributaries in between).  I would say that if the gauge is under 350 you are probably good to go but you need to look at the gauge rock (it is a cup shaped rock right below the FITW proper and fairly obvious) to be sure.  James can elaborate but basically, if the cup is dry, it is too low and if the cup is full go run the MM.   Other than that the only requirements are a creekboat (unless your badass, in which case you don't need me) and a good boof stroke.

I might be up there if it stays high enough. 

Anyone got a guess as to how much the recent rain has affected the lower feeder creeks?

Hey Dave, I ran it in my Techno at least six times before I ever pulled out my creeker, and it took 800 cfs for me to do that. So do it in the boat your comfortable with.

I really want to go, but I need to borrow a creek boat and at least do the MM once in it to get used to it first.

NO, James I can't go on Wednesdays, I have dinner with my gal on Wednesday nights. I will run FITW when I can get a creeker to borrow and just need one warmup run in it to get used to it first.

POW I will be there earlier than the rest of the crowd and I will issue you the 3 lap minimum however that is for me. I can't promise how many laps you will get Bullet Master...I would aim for 5 though thats a good night for anyone I would think.
