Glad to see P Nutty gettin his "miniature golf of creekboating" on!!!
Who's gonna rally some afterwork midweek laps?

I got a little change in my pocket going jing-a-ling-a-ling. I need to burn some fossil fuels. The Van likes HWY 2, but it needs a change of scenery.

Send me some texts. Holla at yer boy

Hmm sounds about right. Might be pretty fat n juicy tonight, just to warn folks. Might be quite a bit of push 'n gush. Like, if the cup over runneth now, it may be 14 Fathoms Deep by evening, which means Fisherman's will most likely be hungry for plastic clad humans...

Possibly heading up tonight after work - anyone getting a look at it earlier today?

Hoping for something in the medium level versus soiled undies.

Umm-mm!
Just like the Kenny Rodgers/ Dolly Parton Duet...

Sounds like the perfect flow. I got tuesday off. Any weekday paddlers out there who could meet during the day? What about the "Afterwork" boaters? Who is down? I gotta make a plan tho.

Otherwise The Bavarian Whitewater Tractor Beam will pull me east. Precious seconds to lose...

Might be down for other trajectories too this week. Who has multiple weekdays this week? Fitw could kick off a good streak.

Water was barely flowing in the cup today, low.

Cooper was high, and both were fun!

H2O please

Hey Connor - I can potentially get up there in the afternoon - like 4PM. Let me know if something like that'd work.

Can't make it today but there'll be two of us up there around 6:15AM tomorrow if anyone else wants to fire up some dawn patrol laps.

Yeah, if I interpreted that last one correctly, should be some kinda decent medium, eh? I could potentially rally it tonight...

Might be a 5 or 6pm kinda deal

According to the picture chart - it'd be a bit higher than the "fluffy medium" picture - the right side of the cup was occasionally exposed.

Interesting... I thought it felt low Sunday, and I'm an ELF boater. Looked the same as the description above on Saturday.

I doubt JP will call it a "fluffy medium" if the water is barely lapping over that far lip, still very fun river!

Edit: Oops, it was Saturday we paddled it, I wrote Sunday at first.

Not that anyone else should care, but I think the main divider for me between "medium" and "high" is how retentive Fisherman's is. I define medium as "easy to rodeo out" and high as "you're probably going to need a rope or a bow rescue."

IIRC it starts getting somewhat sticky when the water starts flowing through the cup, and can really hang onto you when the water starts flowing over the top of the cup.

Pretty much all of the laps that I can remember have been   with the water flowing through the cup but not lapping at the top or lower, - so maybe my perception is totally off. What's everyone think?

As of 6:00 pm tonight water was barely flowing through the bottom of the cup.

I am heading over the pass tomorrow with boats in the van. Give me a shout if you wanna hit some laps around 1 or 2.

Cupdate will follow after.

If anyone is driving past tomorrow a cupdate would be much appreciated considering the forecasted rain tonight should bring flows back up.
