Cameron there are some folks who run the Middle Fork Nooksak which is a 5, perhaps we can all do the N. Fork Nooksak, with Eric starting out at the bridge.

that sucks jp. Sky Fest is the weekend of July 4-7. I'm doing a riverboard clinic on the 7th. Guess it was worth the $400 to get my stupid locking glove box repaired, but makes me wonder where to leave my car when running that river! Guess I'll try and make the car look as empty as possible.]]> Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:11:05 +0000 http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13256&PID=73847#73847 Whitewater Forum : Sky tommorow http://www.professorpaddle.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=13258&PID=73846#73846 Author: Sam_Graftton

while we're on the topic. my favorite way to run icicle creek is to put in at the rv pull out and take out at the lower take-out. you should try it if you havn't already. it's a shame the run gets chopped up into these one mile stretches. its understandable because flows are fickle with each section. but a river of this quality and scenery shoud be experienced as a whole.
i'd say shoot for 1400 cfs and plan to portage a few times. the portages are all pretty easy and the run only takes 3 hours at a moderate pace. the shuttle is simplified and when you're done it's a pretty sweet feeling.
feel free to give me a call if you want to give it a go sometime.

just red my post - sounds like i'm a dick or pissed. no offence intended - just info/beta.
basically use the icicle doe gauge. it is the best.
 
also, the middle is more friendly then people sell it; with the exception of ricochet. the 8-mile to the seive section, although short, is great up 2000. ricochet is easily portaged with re-entry below the ricochet rock on river left. the rest of the run is MUCH better with 1200+. by the time ricochet comes into a 'comfortable level' the rest of the run is getting low.
i suggest starting to run ricochet from below ricochet rock down. then start putting in above the ricochet rock. then a little further upstream. it is a massive rapid, and very intimidating to bite off from the top if you don't know where you are at. it takes several laps to start to figure out where you are. especially above 1200.
house rock is also scary - but there are a couple good options for lines. scout it - its not that hard. just intimidating.
