You might not like it, but kudos 4 bein out there Louie. The Yough doesnt even have to get near that juicy and youll see oc's rollin out of town.
Id surely be thinkin twice about bustin the 16 ft LB w/ no flotation, but the trusty Outrage would rock it.
That spud your paddlin looks too dam slow for that volume man. I just dont get your logic there.
But hey, youre out there while the majority aint... shweet.
Why don't you like big water Louie? That looks like a really fun flow. I'm sure the inbetween stuff cleans up really nice, too. And there's still rocks in there. Isn't that more medium flow?
For someone who swam Baby Falls twice in the same run at 1.7 you would die at at 3.6 and no it ain't medium flow it is high flow. Most people run the middle at that level. when we got there it was 1.8 if we had know what it was goin to flash too we would have gone and done something good.
Dear read the above post, If it is 3 feet or above there are so many other thing, better and very close, Wild Cat, Cittico, Doublecamp, Bald, Conasauga, Yellow, Santellia, Turkey Creek. If you are on Tellico above three feet you must be new to the area or have never done it.
Longboat, I think you are like a speed freak. After you have boated a while you will descover what the girls already know, Most of the time finessee with out do raw power and speed.
Well, I think 24 yrs in a boat passes at least as a bit of while. So, while we're on the woman as boating metaphor, how is it the ladies like all your bobbin around and fallin out? In my experience finesse is all about gettin in and stayin there on line, not blowin it with one stroke.

Louie, unlike you, my boating is getting better. I know you are on the long downard slope to eventually only doing runs where you wheelchair over rocks, but I got on our local class IV yesterday at probably the same volume as that Tellico vid, but with more gradient and half the width.
I boated like heck, too. But guess what? I stayed in my boat. Ya know why? It's called a roll. You should try it sometime.
I knew it I can spot a begginer when I see one. Twenty four year ago I had moved from a OCA to a Sunburst II which a lot of people were sayin was too short of a boat. I will admit that the seventeen year before that from 1968 t0 1985 I was in a long boat. Also with your admited lack of social skill and anti social attitude are you really sure you know what the girls like????? I mean just askin.
and another dam thing, I am going to have to get out of my boat to dump it anyway. You only have so many rolls why waste one when you don't have to. That rollin stuff is over rated.
