Bad wood - first rapid of second gorge

Gauge Reading915 r.c. at SOUTH FORK SKOKOMISH RIVER NEAR UNION, WA
FlowMedium Flow

There is wood in both the left and right slots at the entrance to the first border garden in the second gorge. At the flow we had on 1/21/23, we were able to boof over the wood in the right slot but this option could be cut-off as flows drop. This is a tricky spot and not being able to boat past would mean a sketchy portage or heinous hike out.
