Alright then, do you have a suggestion of another fun and easy river that would resemble the Salmon? My buddy has never done spring boating so I don't want something too intimidating to start with but still a little challenging and fun. He did run the Bonnet Rouge and the Nation Canyon at low water last summer but that's it! He never did a whole section of a river. I wouldn't consider doing the Nation with him right now, water's getting too high and pushy. I would do the Beaver or Black myself, but I'm not sure about my buddy doing that. (although I could be wrong?) There's the Mississipi which is not too far, not super interesting though. Is there another spring type creek somewhere within a couple hour drive? I want to get him ready for Bonniebrook in May. Don't know if you guys would be interested? I'll post the date in a few weeks on this post.
I don't know if this makes a difference but in case you're wondering, my buddy Jean-Fran?ois paddles a Nomad and he's got a SO-SO roll, not bombproof yet. We'd be going with another friend of mine who is a very good kayaker though.
Anyway, thank for your help.
