I have a 12 ft old town angler kayak that I bought last fall and finally got to take it out on the river. I’m new to kayaking, have done it on vacations in lagoons, but this is the first time on fast water.

What is a safe speed on cfs on water to paddle in for a beginner? Also, it was 4200cfs when I put in and I couldn’t paddle upstream with it. I just sat still no matter how aggressive I was. The minute I stopped paddling I of course went zipping away lol. On less cfs, will I be able to paddle upstream? I realize I was in way over my head with that cfs, so thats why I’m asking what cfs would be more safer to go in.

My plan was the paddle upstream and troll down by just floating while fishing.

What suggestions do you have, there is no one here that gives lessons, I have begged friends of friends to just take me out and show me the ropes and no one responds back. So I’m just trying to learn on my own. I have rafted alot so its not new that way, but kayaking in itself is new.

Thanks!
