6.2ft has plenty of flow for a longer take-out to Bass Island

Put-in at Kelly and Take-out to at Bass Island. Opted for further take-out than Milford for longer float time. Height on Milford Guage was 6.2ft. R2 Rafted in a RMR storm (not a kayak). Good flow. Flat water stretches were fine, they were really of no concen as little paddling needed to get through them. I would this stretch again without a doubt. Effort level minimal. We would have been off the river after like 2 hours if we took the Milford exit. Glad I opted for the further take-out. We did Milford Take-out last week from Kelley and took us like 2.5 hours at 7.2ft.
The bass-island take-out gives you like another 3-4 rapids to go through. So its a nice option.
Class 2 rapid near Milford not near as fun compared to last week's trip with levels at 7.2ft. Rapids all together were kinda meh. I feel like some of the rocks shifted since last season. Wave trains were not bumping.
