(IV)We caught the Lochsa at 9 ft. on May 31, 2009. The Lochsa at high water is an incredibly fun time, albeit a bit rowdy and a little out of control. The surfing is awesome at high water with big, catch on the fly waves that just keep coming. For logistical information, see the original Lochsa post at the bottom of the page.Pete going for the glory line on Lochsa Falls About a half-second later - Brianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15139494859990528492noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281171493722195521.post-66454368381021030162009-05-20T11:55:00.004-06:002009-05-20T12:05:39.138-06:00Main Flathead River, Montana, I-II (Buffalo Bridge to Sloan Bridge)I am going to make an increased effort to start posting on stretches that have mellower water and are more "family friendly" in addition to the more difficult runs.
