Last Supper is a great wave-hole playspot that happens at levels between 6.7 and 8 feet. It is located above the Fishladder on the Maryland side of Great Falls.
With the level at 7.1 on Saturday morning, I went out expecting Last Supper to be at a perfect level. Unfortunately, Last Supper was washed out and there wasn't anything there but a small wave.
Even though it was at an optimal river flow, the log dams that are downstream in the Fish Ladder and the Bridge Channels are backing up water and flooding the pool below Last Supper. As a result, Last Supper is flooded over and has disappeared. (I checked it again on Sunday with the level at 6.5 and Last Supper was still covered)
I don't expect Last Supper to return until those log dams are cleared. It might be quite a few years before this happens.
