Ran today to Lezat, with 5cms, everything runnable, no portages. One dangerous tree in a gorge, runnable with a somewhat sketchy line.

Étroits de la Bienne: la dent de requin (le S) est infran, un arbre s’y est coincé. Si non elle est en bonne état. 4 m3/sec à Morez = 1.17 m à l’usine de Tancua. Navigation fluide.

After the gorge it is possible to take-out on river-right at 46.49553,5.94262 and walk up a track to the road at Lézat. Nothing wrong with the track but the height gain is 150m vertical. You might prefer the class II-III paddle out.

Ran part 1 (only) with 5 m3/s at Morez. A perfectly entertaining level. Strong currents in the drops but not pushy in the pools. The above-grade paddlers in the group did not have to portage anything at this level.

All clear. Remarkably little wood in the water.

Very nice run that can be divided in two parts:

- Part 1: wild gorge with 2 difficult rapids (class IV, IV+ or X depending on the level). Those can be carried on the right side. Be careful with the banks on the second rapid, they can be very slippery!

- Part 2: class III rapids between Lezat and La Rixouse.

We did the full section on the 2/4/16 with a level of 4,2m3/s in Morez. It was a good level to discover the gorge. A bit low for the section between Lezat and La Rixouse.
