The trip report below reports only one strainer between Rt. 28 and Riley's lock.
Mike,
Here's the TR. For me pretty much a PFD. Very impressed at its beauty & isolation. The hole we made in the single downed tree blocking the creek - is passable only by kayak - it took us 20 minutes to saw our way through.

SENECA CREEK 300 cfs 5 boats Miki leads - Sat, 1 June 2014
For our part, I came along with Miki and Barb and a couple Doug and Lisa on the Seneca Creek - which I hadn't been on since a Jim Finucane clean-up in 2001. Our cfs was 300 - only one strainer, which we sawed our way through. In at 4:10 - out at Rileys Lock at 6:30. Fine level, scarcely ever touched bottom. I was most impressed that such a pretty creek is open and available; my notes from 2001 say that there were about 8 places needing cutting out. In fact, I'm thinking of getting out the tin canoe and taking Rita down! Sunny, cool.
