6 kayakers including 2 newer ones ran this section on 7/10/2022 at 7160 cfs Sauk@Sauk.  The first rapids after the Rat Trap Bridge were clean.  A couple of miles down, the big right bend was blocked.  We landed on the gravel bar in the middle and made an easy 30-ft portage.  About 100 yards below the portage before the next left bend, beware of a submerged tree sticking out from the right shore.  It is in the shade and hard to see unless you know it's there (It was there last year, too).

After braided channels, the left channel of a big island was completely clear.  There is another place like this later (braided channels & island), but that left channel is completely blocked at the entrance, so it is obvious.

The takeout was very shallow.  Best take a look before you go.  There was a terribly destroyed car in the park, though it didn't happen during our trip.
