Gauge Conditions
Zone Dogg swears 200 is a good level and its been done lower, but its manky creeking. above 275 is ideal. Low water also exposes several pin rocks and sieves

Description
The next rapid, Pinball, is a steep, trashy rock pile. Half of the flow goes far right and drops off into a sieve. You don't want to go here. The best way to run this rapid is to run far left and stay all the way left until the last chute that falls off to the right. Avoid any temptation to take any of the chutes that drop off to the right early (they are rather pinny). However some paddlers avoid the pinball slots by catching an eddy on river left and ferrying over to the right in front of a nasty looking pin rock. Done well - this is the cleanest line and it drops you in an eddy. Sound confusing? Scout it while you are portaging Sticky Fingers. Immediately and with no break, there is another horizon line. This can be run down a double drop on the left or a 5 foot boof in the center.
