I floated the Rogue about a week ago for my maybe fourtyith time. About two thirds of the time there is a raft stuck in the picket fence. This time was no exception. When I went through Blossum Bar this time there was a commercial trip stuck there that had been there for hours. What I have never seen is a cat pearched on the fence. I've searched you-tube and nothing. What's up. Am I just missing all the cat carnage?
Blossum Bar carnage question

The raft was mostly underwater and I was trying not to join it at the time so I didn't catch the outfitter's name. It looked like a few rafts from the same group were eddied out just down river from them, but again I was a little to busy at the time to notice any names. I do believe that they were mostly tan rafts. They were having an experience that memories are made of, but it didn't look like they were enjoying themselves.

Eddies slow down cats more dramatically than rafts because the floor isn't dragging in the current - so those kinds of moves (technical eddy catches) are often easier to make in cat setups, IMO.
That's just a guess... but have you ever tried to get out of a strong eddy line in a heavy cat? It blows.
