Ran 4/11/20 @ ~375cfs . Note the road down to PI wasn't fully plowed of snow which added another 1/4 mile to the hike up to the dells. Portage following right next to the river, RL up above the dells. There is a small eddy RL upstream of the main section, but there is some more narrow moving water that could add potential fun. The dells are great fun and provide a great beautiful intro to the run. The alders aren't that bad and about 20 min of boat-bush-pushing got us to the bridge. From here down to Wren there are a few sizable drops interspersed with long sections of flat/moving water. The lead in the Wren is pretty obvious and eddies were catchable on the fly RR. Note that there is a 12' log over the full lip over the falls. A real shame. This was a mandatory portage at this level, but at lower levels a maneuver may be possible RR under the log. Sketch. From here down to the TO is fun boogie, holes, and haystacks. There was no other mandatory portages and a low amount of wood as compared to other creeks in the Mellen area.
