I've been running Fordyce for 10+ years... always the same chute on the last rapid before the boulder garden at the bottom. High flows have altered the riverbed and the "normal chute" is now a sieve. See the attached video for details. The guy who got pinned is a very solid boater... just drew the short straw. Two of us went through with the exact same line.

Here's a video of the chute (and pin). Ugly.

Spread the word!
