Low water floating

Hardcore river rats can float about any stream no matter how low the water. It just depends on how much they want to walk. Wading and walking were part of a low-water float down the War Eagle River on Friday. Alan Bland of Rogers and outdoors reporter Flip Putthoff observed the last day of summer, Sept. 21, with a canoe trip from the Gar Hole low-water bridge to a private take-out near the War Eagle Mill.
