Early evening paddle on fast moving flood waters
















The Housatonic is in full flood again.  Maybe not spring conditions, but plenty of water is going over the dam.
I paddled up to the Hollenbeck from the dam parking lot and up the Hollenbeck as far as the railroad bridge at Point of Rocks Road.  Cool trip.  I had to maneuver around a few strainers -probably could not have done it had the water not been so high.  'Accompanied' a good part of the way by the Great Blue Heron; also spotted a Kingfisher.
