Group of 8 packrafting this section on 6/17/23 at low-ish flows (don't remember specifics). Read reports from last year about the multi-tier logjam before starting so we had our eyes open. As of this weekend there was one spot that required a portage around a channel-wide logjam, 4 miles from the put-in at the exit of a right-hand bend. There's a two-boat eddy on river left at the apex of the bend that the jam can be seen from, and an easy ferry across the current to a gravel bar on river right to take out. We portaged across a very shallow adjacent channel and put back in about 50ft from where we took out. This was the only area where packrafts could not get through. There were a couple other places on this section that required an easy duck under a log in a packraft with no problem.
