Show Going up stream one 1077 can see the channel better , and if ( he lie ) has been up and down recently ( he lie ) is in still better condition because of his experience . ( R . 4256 . ) Q . When you take an initial trip down and come to a place in the river such as I have . just described , get down two or three hundred yards before the part of the stream your boat is in starts to go over a shallow bar into one other section of the stream , you are confronted with the problem whether you will take ( your your- your ) boat clear back up stream and start down in the right channel , or whether you will drag it over the sand bar , ( aren't arent ) you ? A . In this case you are talking of , that other channel where your water is crossing over into it , you ( can't cant ) get into the upper end of that channel . Q . How do you know you ( can't cant ) get into the upper end of that channel we have been ( talking talking- talking ) about ? A . Because you ( wouldn't wouldnt ) have taken it ; you pick out one that looks like your deepest ( Avater water ) when you start down . You take what looks like your deepest water but maybe it is not . It is when you first start in , although you ( can can- can ) not always tell . You can get caught in a place like that you are describing very ( easity easily ) ; the old , experienced hand will get caught like that right along . He ( doesn't doesnt ) know which is the right channel . ( IL 4257 . ) He will just know by hunting it out ; he has got to hunt out a channel . There is not always a channel there to find . |
