We put on May 9 for a 6 day trip to Leslie Gulch. 1st obsicale was the rock dam 1/2 mile below the bridge at Rome. Even though flows started out at a 1k CFS I had to get out of my boat to finagle it and the fam over the Rock dam, the most challenging part of the whole trip. The rest of the trip went without a hitch including the Morcum Rock dam with the flow down to 600 CFS. Whistling bird was its normal self just a little bit tighter, but not bad considering flows where around 700-800 cfs. Montgomery was way tight with my left oar basically touching the left wall. With my right oar I had to plan my strokes to keep from sticking it in the rock bar on the right. Thankfully the river wasn't too pushy and it was fairly easy to line up and make the slot between the rocks bottom left. Rock Trap was visually challenging until you get down into the throat of it, and could see the way through the maze. Even though it was a low to very low water raft trip the river was fairly easy to navigate. I'm guessing we were the last trip on the river as we saw no other rafts once the two solo boats left us below Montgomery.
