Post by: Francois Leclerc on May 01, 2018, 10:21:23 AM

Just wondering what rivers the club members are considering for this coming Saturday?

We'll see if I can get everything I need to get done, done this week.

But I am up for anything.

Everything is pretty high right now, and will probably only get higher with the rain coming this week.

Last Saturday, there was some interest in doing the Bonniebrooke this weekend.

Gauge: 
The gauge is currently at ~ 160*.08 = 12.8 cms  Guide states 10-12 is ideal, (6-8 is minimum)
so we want to watch it to see which direction it goes for the weekend.

Note: The Bonniebrooke can be more difficult than the Ashigan at higher water levels,
so anyone who had a hard time last week may want to think about their swim to paddle ratios.
Jim,

the Bonniebrook is fun river to do ... I would rate it III/IV with a mixture of continuous and drop pool rapids. I haven't paddled it in a few years.

Forecast for the Montreal is rain Wednesday-Friday which is good.

is my map for directionally challenge people to get to the put in and take out.
