Will it storm while you're floating? Are You Sure?
Consider all aspects of the conditions when making your decision.
"You Decide"
Note: Children the years 12 and below should really wear Personal Floatation Device (PFD).
Caution: At 6.30ft.+, the flow becomes much more swifter, making footholds much more difficult. Stay clear of downfalls.
Caution should always be exercised no matter the level.
These levels and their cautions are of my own opinion.
I have been wade fishing, canoe & kayaking, the Kish
for 45+ years. BE SAFE!
