[Slow and Low]

Don't bother. I went for a high speed boat ride from Dodge to Oxbow. No visibility and the river is absolutely cooking full speed. Put on at 9am and was in Maupin for Lunch. Flow was 03/25/2007 09:00 11.956,690

Drenched my wife and my 5 month old lab in pipe line rapids. Luckily the wife was in waders and a rain coat. Dogs first ride. Definately not happy with me.

Looks like somebody busted a nice little springer, still can't beat Andys monster.

Uhhh, yeah, wild ride for sure.

Fast, but you probably didn't have to dodge rocks at that flow!!!

nope just big rollers so my wife didn't kill me. saw a guy in a drift boat with 3 people up front. Nuts.

I was going mention how hardcore you were until you mentioned the DB with three people up front. In that stretch with a DB at those flows and three people up front??? THAT'S hardcore!

Little bit too high/fast for the fly, but nice boat ride I bet.

Hey Slow & Low, is that a 13 footer? What length oars are you using? I picked up a super puma last year and need to replace my oars. I think mine are 8', but I'm considering bumping up to 8 and 1/2. Wonderin' if you've got an opinion. Looks like we've got the same frame.

No it's a 15 foot Super Cat. I use 9'6" and they could be 10 footers but shorter oars make standing and oaring easier.
