watch out for the snags they are nasty  >:( I always carry a small strong stick to wrap my line around to pull out the snags.  I loosen my drag a bit to relieve pressure on it, and my spool, and get enough slack to wrap the line around five or so times, and with my rod straight, I back up and give it a good pull to break free.  If you do this fast before the current peels off a bunch of your line you can usually retrieve part if not all of your rig.  I just thought I would mention it because I see alot of guys trying to unsnag themselves by yanking up on their rods (which can crack your rod by the guides), or putting their thumb on their spools (which in a strong current with heavy test line puts too much pressure on your spool which could possibly bend it ), or they wrap the line around their arm which could possibly cut your skin especially when using braided line.

pipeline bar was barely fishable today. can be very snaggy if one is not familiar with the drift. not like scale bar where there is virtually no snags. the bar is not a place for tonnes of guys either, it's small and has very limited fish chasing area downstream. If i pull up and see 6 or more cars i move on. Also this bar blows for sox but can be productive for springs.
