Paddled it today at about 120cfs, and I can confirm that something in the 110 range would probably be a reasonable minimum, wouldn't want to go much lower than I did.
As for the strainers, at that level, I found I was able to go over the first one (about 1/2 mile into the run), and under or just around a few others. There is a particularly nasty one that occurs about a mile in, the river right channel dams up, the left channel was very shallow and had 2 different logs across it (minor issue), but when the channels met again, they flowed right into a chest high log that had a limb/ice trap covering about half the river. Definitely catch an eddy above that one
