It was a record high day on the Oswego (4.58' @ 404 cfs). Me and Chris were welcomed with rumbling foam from the spillway at the put-in -- I was plain giddy. It's been awhile since we've had a down river trip here. Last day of shotgun season today, but we didn't see any hunters along the river (that extended far into the woodline). Spooked up about a dozen ducks (either black ducks or mallards). Temps were in the 30s, but we passed on spray skirts. Even with gloves our fingertips were numb at the end, though. We took a few long breaks, so the trip took about 3 1/2 hours. We could have done it under 2 if we wanted.
