Jouett Creek

A few of us had multiple runs on Jouett on 12/12/07. As of the first two runs there were some new and old strainers. The first major strainer was river wide and located between Compactor and Dead and Bloated. It requires portage on river left; however, at higher flows there may not be good eddy service above the strainer so you may want to scout at medium flows after the Compactor runout. There is also a riverwide strainer at the Class II'ish slide after the Flume at the bottom of Dead and Bloated. The typical line here is working from center to right anyway, but you need to get up against the right bank as the tree stops short of the bank about 4' to provide your narrow window. As of late Monday afternoon the narrow Flume was clean. There is also a strainer at the bottom left of the last hole of Dead & Bloated, but I think it's been there for a while....keep right.
