Jungle Bush Wave

Here's a good high water wave for those out in central vermont! The Jungle Bush Wave is on the first branch of the White River. Here's the info from local Mike McDonnell (used with permission):

"Jungle Bush always goes, but is best really juicy. It's not my first choice but I hit it if i don't have time to go elsewhere. Directly below the S-turn on route 110 at the chelsea/tunbridge line. Put in at the covered bridge .5mi above and take out at covered bridge .25 mile below. From upstream you'll come around a corner and see big trees overhanging the river from both sides, just a few feet above a good looking spot- Jungle Bush. I guess it goes without saying that Jungle Bush is not for everyone. But if you are willing to give it a try and can get used to it, you might just find that you like it and can have a lot of fun with it! I hit Jungle Bush all the time because it's handy- but it's not worth traveling far for- keep your eyes peeled in your own area- after all this is Vermont and we can assume there's a Jungle Bush or two in every town. With that said, i'm happy to share-"

Best gauge is tough to say. The White River at West Hartford gauge is a bit far downstream but there is probably only a few hours' lag on a high water day. Another gauge that is nearer and on a similar size drainage is Ayers Brook @ Randolph, or check East Orange Branch @ East Orange to see if a local storm hit the drainage (it's right nearby but a smaller stream).

Enjoy!
