Looks like we are going to cancel the trip.  The water is just too low to justify the drive out. ]]> Tue, 24 Apr 2007 15:37:31 +0000 http://www.IdahoKayaker.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63&PID=284#284 General WhiteWater Chat Room : Lochsa Weekend Discussion Thread http://www.IdahoKayaker.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=63&PID=283#283 Author: top pin

A little trip report fo you guys. Might try to hook up with ya Saturday, I'll know more later in the week..
 
 
Ran Lochsa yesterday at what I would call a low flow. Didnt have any rock scraping issues as it definetly had enough water for all the drops. The lines sure were different though then when it has a couple more feet.

Ran from Fish Creek to Pipeline. Some fun monster waves in mid rapids, Grim Reaper being the most technical as having to punch a funky diagonal on the lead in then hang of for some big wave 6'+..

First time I've run this section as a lead boater and having to watch for holes, read the lines etc. No flips in any of the drops first for me, though a couple trying to play on some surf waves.

Overall a fun day, and I'll be headed back up again. Even at the low, there was some great rapids in there. Lots of Missoula boaters on the river, finding a shuttle at the take out was no problem thanks to them guys..

Cannot wait for memorial day, and a little more water but its coming next, this week high 60's should bring it up some.

You lost me Top...

The run is Vinegar Creek to Riggins and the Gauge is out of White Bird ID.

Is that wrong? I would not know dude ... I read that from a guide book. So I stuck it up there.

Let me know if it should get changed... or if you wanna help moderate these idaho rivers... I could make you a moderator...

James,
   can you change the front page gauges for the salmon river to the whitebird gauge. I believe most if not all of us locals use that gauge to see whats in around riggins..
 
 
Never mind I see it is the right gauge just has the wrong name on the page. Really it should say the whitbird gauge as Vinegar Creek is like 40 miles upstream I believe..
 
Thanks
 
Chris Stephens

This is the Lochsa Weekend discussion thread. Please post any questions below.

Remember the actual Trip Details are located on the Lochsa Weekend | Trip Page

A group of us from the Washington version of this site http://www.professorpaddle.com/ are coming out to run the Lochsa the last weekend in April.  It would be cool to hook up with some of our Idaho counterparts for some paddling. 

I ran the lower section once before a couple years ago at 4.5 feet or so but it would be great if someone local would show us the goods.

I know its silly to suggest leaving Idaho, but the Icicle and Wenatchee were going off pretty good this last weekend. It should be back up to high flows in the next month so if your looking to make a little drive I will be out there for sure.

I think there is a little group going to the Lochsa on the 28th too.
