Tie Creek to Crouch - Middle Fork of the Payette

We'll meet at Winco in Eagle at 9 AM.
The Middle Fork is running high, fast and cold right now so if you sign up be sure you feel confident in your ability to maneuver.
The float requires hard-shell kayaks and double-layered inflatable kayaks, no SUP’s at this time. The run is about 10+ miles, and we will stop for lunch about 2/3-3/4 of way down the river

Advanced beginners and skilled paddlers will have fun.
The weather channel claims it will be 80° in Eagle and 70’s in Crouch. No wind in forecast at this time for Friday!

Must have: invasive species sticker, personal floatation device (PFD), whistle, water & lunch.

We will discuss shuttle and put in close to the take-out, and arrange vehicle shuttles to the put-in.
