Nantahala White Water

So we took the family (10) all up to the Nantahala River for a white water rafting experience. We had been there before and we knew we would have a great ride down the river and perhaps a little fishing as it is one of the premier NC rivers for trout.
Tommy took his fly pole along and also borrowed a spinning rod and pole from me, a double fisted fisherman was he. But, I believe that he choose the rafting over fishing as there was so much commotion on the stream. Here is a good shot of Brian and Tommy in the whitewater.
It got a little worse as you can see from the second picture.

They survived the white water without a scratch and did not fall out this time. On our last trip Marj fell out and nearly drowned.

However, the spinning reel and pole did not survive the trip. It appears that there are a few more pieces of the pole than when we started.

Wow nice article and pics. White water rafting is a thrilling experience.For the best experience try the 40-mile long stretch of Futaleufu River in Chile. The Mckenzie River in Oregon or the Tongariro River is very famous for river rafting. You will never forget the beautiful experience rafting in magnificent rivers of Colorado like Arkansas, Dolores and Colorado.
