Taking the Cathance

There may not be enough open water for widespread fishing but some rivers are clear enough to kayak. Case in point: The Cathance River.

Ron Chase has a great story and photos about a day on the river. My favorite part:

"The Cathance is a challenging potentially hazardous river at virtually any runnable water level and should not be attempted without a strong paddling group with advanced whitewater skills. The whitewater section is steep, congested and notorious for collecting logs, branches and debris."

I don't have enough neoprene nor skills to attempt this. But Ron's story makes me wish I did.

For those of you wishing to do some tamer waters, the Kenduskeag Stream Canoe Race is coming April 19.
