Upper Tye Sat. around 2000 cfs

Let us know how it went! Swim confessions and carnage reports are welcome, but it's not fair to tell on your buddies!

Upper Tye Sat. around 2000 cfs

Post by JimmyT »

I hit the road as the Tye peaked but checking it in my 2.5 hr. trip it sort of leveled out and didn't drop quick like it usually does. It had been since late spring since I had boated, there was a birds nest in my Burn when I went to load it. So I was a little nervous about the level being higher than I had done it, looked a few inches below 3 feet on the bridge. But it was a blast, big wave boogie water and just plain fun. Even the put in section on the North fork was full with no bumpy stuff. Good to see some old friends and familiar faces!

We went back today. Not nearly as much water, but plenty of fun. Good to see you Jimmy!

I had a blast paddling with you, Eric and the whole rest of the crew. I very much appreciate the beta (when in doubt, paddle river right) as I was shaking off some cobwebs myself. Not sure when it'll be up to that level again so it was nice to knock it off my to-do list.

Had a great time as well. Paddled it the next day and got in 3 laps total. Almost went for a fourth had it not been a Sunday. I think it was around 1200 CFS. Holes were smaller at that level, and some of the "pucker factor" was gone. Very fun level both Saturday and Sunday. Good boating with you Jimmy, as always. Nice meeting you Mike. Sorry for leading you left of the rock. :? I propose we call that rock "Go Right Rock" from here on out. :lol:
