Had a fun run from Buttermilk creek to the Methow confluence on 4/22/21 at 950 cfs. The wood report from the alert posted on May 1st 2020 still seemed pretty accurate. The only thing that I'd want to add is that there are also a couple wood hazards between Buttermilk and Little Bridge Creek. The first downed tree spans the left 80% of the river, shortly after the put in, where the river comes back together after splitting around an island. Taking the right channel around the island will set you up nicely to skirt right of the log. The second noteworthy strainer was river wide. It is at the bottom of a little class 2 rapid. At 950cfs, there was a fairly large eddy on river left upstream of the log you can catch to walk over it. We also portaged the fish collection dam as we were running inflatables and there were some sharp looking branches protruding from the dam.
