I went up to the Elk and Big Sugar today just to look around. The river below the Noel dam still looks a little hairy. Both rivers looked swift, but the portions I saw didn't have too many strainers or root balls.

These are low water bridges on Big Sugar. How worried should a novice in a 12ft ...

Hello, I am stupid. A few weeks ago I did a float on the Big Sugar Creek in Missouri. At that time I thought the creek was a little low, dragging bottom a couple times, having to walk once, and portaging around a low water bridge.
