Tye

Midway through the run from Evergreen Church (NFT) to swinging bridge, there is a 20' diameter tree that forms a riverwide strainer. The tree was freshly cut (by chainsaw) on the river right bank where a set of powerlines crosses the river diagonally from left to right. Additionally, there are two (hopefully de-energized) powerlines IN the river running diagonally from river left to right just upstream of this tree. It appears that the power company recently had to replace the right bank pole and re-run the lines, so they cut the tree and left the old powerlines in the river and along the right bank. In the 780-720cfs range, the powerlines were out of play, but the tree was a mandatory portage. I'd recommend portaging on river left.
