Mariville Falls

The water is still boiling like a spring run off, so the boys decided to try fishing the Union from Tannery Loop Falls to the bridge on 181 where it meets Graham Lake. The water is as high as winter melt, but warmer. Fishing was fair with a few trout taken above Route 9 and at a feeder brook. Then things got fun, at Mariville Falls, a place the crew usually takes out as the water is only inches deep and the drop is about nine feet over a small grade, the high water had flooded out most of the falls. Now these little Otters are great for fishing small beaver ponds and streams, they are not intended for fast boiling water. But the crew shot the rapids, yes with life jackets and a person on shore with rope. What a great ride, that allowed for lots of playing, that is until it started to rain and thunder.
