The reference to being able to float the middle Hoh (Canyon stretch), before hitting the middle Duc is pretty acurate.

That is how me and my fishing partner (the rower) approache the issue.

The canyon of the Hoh has 2 tricky spots, the entrance to the main "Canyon", and right at the bottom before oxbow where you go down a rapids, and then have to row HARD to get to the left to avoid the "boulder".

Double Rapids is some water that you really should go down a few times as a passenger before hitting the sticks. All I can say is stay LEFT the whole way thru it.

Book a trip with the webmaster here, he knows the water and even took us thru double rapids a year or so ago in the dark! eek

Heed the warnings and be careful.
