Stoddards Rips and Ayers Rips have no affiliation with Cathance Stream. These rips are on the Dennys River and would require an entirely different trip all together. In all of my years living here, (37) I have never heard of anyone traveling to this area soley to canoe or kayak Cathance Stream. There are several portages not mentioned above (fishways, deep drops with ledge, dams!! etc.!!!) that everyone should be made aware of.
