My dad, Tyler (my brother), and I went down the Upper Main for the first time this year on March 22nd. I had a chance to try out my new IR semi-dry pants. They kept my warm and dry. I didn’t flip but did a few braces. Tyler rolled 3 times and my dad practiced at least 6 rolls. BRRRRRRRR. We ran from mile post 77 to Chiefs Parish. It was about 2,300 C.F.S.. Which is a little low compared to the normal summer flow. We had lots of fun and hope to see you on the river.
I got out kayaking for the first time this year on the river February 17. My dad and I paddled at the Gutter. It was sure was fun! :-). I used my orange Jackson Shooting-Star. I did a practice hand roll but that is all. I threw a couple of snow balls while I was in my kayak. If you’ve ever been there you have probably seen the gutter dog, Shadow. He was there swimming like it was really hot. Weird!
