I have rowed this stretch a few times. And I would have to agree, that there is some pretty technical rowing involved.(picking around boulders in fast water) Don't do it when lower, or you will be hammering out dings. I would have to agree it is similiar to sol duc, in this stretch. If not confident on the sticks don't row it. There isn't a lot of water, and when there is a lot of bank fisherman, you can get shut down. The white water rafters love this stretch, if this gives you any indication of the run.--mike
