Yea that's a great little spot Dan, it only works with huge water though.

I've heard that this playspot doesn't work any more after some construction work up-river, not sure though

Yup from your video it looks like it's working. It can get a bit sticky in really high water so I'll let you go in first ;)

(also, you don't want to swim as you can't chase boat far down. Theirs a monster hole 1/2 minutes downstream)
