I've said it before and I'll say it again:

If you are not 100% confident behind the oars, please do not row the upper Sauk until you go with someone that knows what the hell they are doing. Even after going with a pro, you can get in trouble quick up there. This is the second boat that has eaten it up in this area this year. The flooding caused some major changes and there are some bad spots to watch out for.

The occupants made it out ok, but barely. It's scary to see this happen, especially twice this season in the same area. Don't risk it unless you want to add some structure to the river like the last guys did!
