Canyon Creek North


Fish gets some hangtime on Canyon Creek

Sunday was another fun day on the water. We ran a couple minimum flow laps on Canyon Creek North in the Stilly drainage. Close to home, clean lines, good local pubs, and gorgeous weather made this a fun trip. Fish was along, as was Joe Sauve. Shaun came out for his first lap on this local classic. We stopped in a few new places for pics, so here are the highlights.

Fish opts for the narrow right slot. We ran all three lines this run.

After this fun lap, we made mad bomb run -- no eddies, so scouting, just hit your line and keep moving. What a great run for a sprint!
