Ran this at 160 in packrafts. Seems like an ideal flow, much more and the over hanging trees/ bushes would be more of a problem. Few strainers, only a couple portages. Two class III+ drops. Lots of bush bashing in boats though. That said, its a beautiful river, clean, clear, sandy bottom, little pollution, a gem for Northern Utah. The ~7 mile section below the dam looks good too.
