The Z-dam is just what the name implies, a low head dam in the shape of a Z across the James River. The hole itself is formed by a fish ladder in the middle that makes a break in the low head dam.
This hole was sweet. It was especially good for Loops and McNasties. Unfortunately, we paddled it at a slightly higher than ideal level, making it a little flushy for Tricky Woo’s and Fonix Monkies. Despite this flushy characteristic, however, Alex Mohn still happened to hit a couple of Back Loop to McNasty combos (none of which we caught on tape, much to our disappointment).
So anyway, enjoy the pics and footy and watch for the next update.
