My wife and I went this morning at 7am, when it was 9.6feet... which is above the recommended level. It was totally crazy. We're not that experienced kayakers, but the waves where 6feet plus. For example, a tree we used to go under when it was 5.5feet was now totally covered and made a huge rapid. The good thing was that the logs going across that normally get ya were covered up, the problem is that it was one continuously hugemongous rapid that didn't stop.
We both bailed, but fortunately we're ok, although we lost a bright green Dagger Showdown. If anyone finds it please let us know! jkinnick1@hotmail.com Thanks and God bless you all! Happy Kayaking!

The two pipe bridges have been removed however, 2 river wide strainers remain. First, 10 yards downstream of the first path crossing there is a river wide log jam that sneaks up on you very quickly. Seeing how close this is to the put-in I'd recommend just walking down the path and putting in downstream of the logs.
The second log is about 300 yards downstream of the first but is easily portaged on the left.
As for runnable level, the removal of the first pipe bridge seems to have lowered water levels at the bridge gauge. We ran it at about -0.8 on the bridge gauge (just below where the concrete pour line is on the bridge) and it was scrapey but runnable. Probably a good minimum.
