Scheduled releases on the Fife Brook section of the Deerfield River end in October. With three weeks of travel for work coming up, I knew I would have to go this weekend if I wanted to catch one. When I saw a trip on the MOC Facebook group, I decided to join. We had a group of 6 - 2 canoes, 2 kayaks and 2 paddle boards. With a small group things go fast, but we still spent a lot of time playing. Only the two canoes ran Zoar Gap. I took my usual right-to-left line. I got spun around a little going into the big drop, but I was able to straighten it out before hitting the wave at the bottom. You’ll have to trust me - no pictures of me or of the Zoar Gap runs this time, but a few other pictures here:


This was my last run at Zoar Gap - yesterday probably looked about the same:


Hopefully we will get some rain, or I may be spending time this fall in my sea kayak ;)
