Notes:
In early 2017 there was wood present, but only three quick portages that were easy with obvious and generous eddies. One of these was early on, one was in the middle, and one in the final 1/4 mile of gravel bars.----------------------------------
Spring 2018 had 3 portages in the Black Creek to White Creek section, with 1 additional portage in the bonus section. ------------------------------------------
From another group:
At flows of 1240 and peaking on the gauge, the hole at the base of Little Fluffy was scary. The concrete defining the fish ladder was under water and not easy to distinguish from the river proper. The rapid snuck up quickly and eddies on the left were not easy to catch. It would have been better to get out above the lead in rapid. The rest of the run was great at this level (Black Creek looked medium/low; Emile creek was low) - just be very careful about catching eddies high above Little Fluffy.

This is Little Ugly Rapid.
There is one short rapid that resembles a ramp between here and Little Fluffy. If the water is high, it is better to get out before the ramp rapid. If water is low, you can run the ramp rapid and scramble into the closest thing resembling an eddy on the left above Little Fluffy, which you will want to scout as it has a serious hole at some flows.
