Rocks and shoal areas would be more problematic.

Much of the winter snow melts and flows downstream. The ground is frozen so it fills the lakes and then runs off to the ocean. When the frost leaves the ground the remaining snow will soak into the ground.
With normal or average snowfalls year the channel at Weirs beach would look like a set of class 2 rapids and the flow over the Lakeport dam is thundering. This year there is no run off so there is no current through Weirs channel or under the railroad trestle at Lakeport.
