 Nice pictures !
 I went down stream once or twice , was no big deal at all though , I like to intentionally come of the wave after a few minitues , this way you don't fall of the wave and pushed way downstream.

 peel in that eddie FAST !        "a foot closer upstream can mean 20 feet saved downstream ! "

Yes, the wave was really nice. I should have brought my gear. The only problem I could see would be if you were blown off the wave and had to paddle down to the eddies downstream. Since they are lined with ice, it would have taken a bit of wrestling to climb out of the water. Next weekend, then!

For some reason, I can only attach one picture at a time. What's going on?

D?sol? Christian,

I'm coming down with a cold so  I think I'll wait until I'm better and for a bit warmer weather too. Mark D said he might go so post it here he might answer. I'd go and look if I feel up to it though.

Colds suck!

Why not? The dam operators seem to have stabilised it around 3.5-3.6. What about ice? Paul, give me a call tomorrow. I will have access to a car (with room for only one boat), but it's more fun to carpool. I'll buy you a much needed warm soup afterwards if you come pick me up... But this weekend I can get there on my own if needed.
