Main Salmon at super low flows.

So, I’m just back today from a trip on the Main. I launched on the eighth, Shoup flow was 980. Middle Fork flow was 400.
It started raining the day I launched, and didn’t stop for five days. I’ve never been so cold in my entire life. Most of the rapids were a moderately bony version of their normal selves; but Black Canyon definitely wanted a right side run, and Vinegar definitely wanted a hard left side run.


There was only one other party I met on the...
