Padded the short reach from Grinder's Ferry to Gilbert on Boxing Day. The weather was beautiful. The water was clear, and we didn't see anyone else on the river. No new strainers were encountered. For the first time in nearly 8 years, the river smelled good and there was no scum line on the hill at take-out. Very little trash found.
