Bodysnatcher

You can sout this one on river left bank.  The common line is to drop over the 2' - 3' ledge on river left into the eddy below.  Then your going to do a 4' boof aiming for a bit right of center.  There is some pin potential here, but should be visible from the previous eddy.  After this boof your looking for the main flow which turns left here, then cuts back right.  As it turns back right there is a small rock which can cause you high side it or spin.  Now you can catch an eddy on river right to line up for the final drop.  The final drop should be approached with a little left angle.  This is about a 5' - 6' drop that is sticky.  This hole might work you if you are to far right, but if your are too far left you may hit a submerged rock.  As you scout this rapid, make sure to read this part ahead of time.

Diagonal Ledges

As your coming up to this rapid you should notice a retainer wall on river left, and the river will start bending to the rigth.  This rapid consit of server diagonal ledges.  About halway through there is a large eddy on river left next to the retaining wall.   At this point you can either try to work down the rest of the leges, or go for the ferry towards river right that will allow you to avoid some of these ledges.
