Salmon River, Riggings Idaho.  54,000cfs   Pretty darn incredible if you ask me.  Do the slide show.

I noticed what kind of boat that was ;) I bet he needed a hair dryer when he got done with that float ::)

pretty incredible stuff that people can do for a little excitement!  that Hog wasn't doing that bad in that water compared to those rafts.  either way, count me out of that stuff!

What of PFD's would you wear on that? You could not wear the inflatable SOSpenders because it would inflate on first rapid. I would be holding on for dear life "The Lord is my Shepherd I shall....."

The more I fish the more I realize it isn t about the fishing.  The older I get the more I realize it is about the moments God has hand crafted just for me.
