    Hey.  You don't know me but I read a post or 2 of yours about running through the city - Schouldice to glen say.  I have been drifting the bow for 20 years but haven't ran through Harvie Passage ever.  I'm wondering of you can let me know how you get through?  Just point er down or is there a preferred line for drift boats.

    Thanks man, I appreciate any insight!

      Yes shouldice to Glen or to the zoo.  I enjoy this section as you typically have it to yourself but the numbers of fish is considerably lower than below the treatment plant.  That said you, maybe see 5% rainbows and I'm a brown  guy.

      I stopped counting how many times I've gone through the passage after 600, so I've ran it in all water and weather conditions.

      There are two passage points, a Class II channel and the Class III main stem.  Stay to river right for the class II, when the water is low your oars will hit the cement sides so counter rowing abilities is a must.  It is fast, and hard to row but over quickly.  There are boulders right in the way of your flow outs but typically you have time to get around.

      Now the Class III section I've done once, I completely swamped it on the last 17' drop. A hide side boat will make, I run an ultra low profile.

      If you want I've been really wanting to get out. We could organize a group float and I can take my boat down in front of you.

       

      Good Luck, any questions fire them my way.
