jononfire Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just wondering at what point (m3/s) should you not take drift boat down the bow? Thanks Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Just wondering at what point (m3/s) should you not take drift boat down the bow? I don't think there is any point at which taking a drift boat on the Bow would be dangerous if you're familiar with the river. I don't gauge whether or not to do a float on flow but rather on the colour of the water. If it is fishable, that's good enough by me.

ÜberFly Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 I'd say during the run off of '05 it would not have been safe (familiar with the river or not!)! But that's just me (former white water rafting guide & 12 years as a lifeguard & water safety instructor).

But that's just me (former white water rafting guide & 12 years as a lifeguard & water safety instructor). You're probably right on the 100 year flood but then the water was flowing mud (not fishable) so there wouldn't be much point in floating it anyway. Nice credentials ... but you didn't answer the man's question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
