Packrafted down this stretch with a buddy on 6/16/2019. There were perhaps 4 or 5 river-spanning strainers. We were being conservative, and scouting, and portaging as-needed, and it was definitely the right way to play it. Longest portage was perhaps 1/3 of a mile on the shore river-left (early on in the run).

Floated this stretch 5/11/2016 in inflatable kayaks. Took it slow with lots of stops to scout the river, but the river was mostly open. Did not run into any river wide log jams and all the sketchy stuff was easily avoidable. The river was flowing great. A good float for an advanced beginner that's hit the yo-yo and lower skykomish a couple times. Floated from FR 74 to the alternative pull on 410 in 41/2 hours. Go enjoy this great stretch of water!

There are several trees and logs down right now on the lower and middle strech of this run. I went down on 7-26-03 and found 3 blocked areas of the river. There are a few strainers that you have to get out for... Don't attempt to run any of them. I lost a Werner Player orange 194' paddle in one of these jams because we could not see if the tree covered the entire river. Take care and contact me if you would like more information on where the jams are.

A few strainers, but easily portaged around with nice gravel bars.
