Heads up on the Yough: Smithton Bridge

I started a float from Whitsett this morning.  The Smithton Bridge has a rock wall along the left side so the equipment can get in to fix the bridge next week.  This has funneled all the water to a chute on the right, which is really sketchy.  Whitewater, big boils, etc.  I made it through upright, but totally soaked because I submerged a few times.  Needless to say I cut the float short at Smithton.  I hadn't caught anything to that point and was soaked.  The outfitters happened to be at bare****beach launching some canoes, so I pulled in and called it a day.  Not worth another very cold, wet 7 miles if the bite is totally off.

Heads up if you are floating there, it's only gonna get worse if the river rises.
