How To Run: Chutes Rapid

A general video guide looking at how to run Chutes Rapid on the Middle Fork Salmon River at low flows.

You made it look easier than it is. Just ran it at 1.77 a couple weeks ago on a heavily loaded Aire Jag cat... Three people, a dog and all the gear. Got stuck on stuff a donut boat would slither right over. While running the chutes I hit something that spun us right smack in the middle of large wrap rock and got pinned. Had to toss the rope to get pulled off. I think I spent most of the first day out of the rig and in the water getting us unstuck. Ready to do it again though but won't be taking the cat. Thanks for the great vid.

Thank you. I canoe. I'd likely have to line that one just because the low water and the frequent left, right, left, right,,,, A 20 foot expedition canoe will not fit. I ran Dinosaur last year and my impression of that was rock garden with a lawn sprinkler keeping them wet. This looks ten times as bad. Floppy, that was what you taught me this AM. Thanks.
