Yeah it's sure bubbling down there, but last week when the river was at 6.5ish I took a look at Juniper and the water was actually quite clear. So I did'nt just want to be staning around this weekend there, so IF i were to try it up there were the water is nicer and not as turbulent what would you suggest?
