Trip Report

ReporterJeff Hulsey

Ran the 'hooch from Johnson Ferry to Paces Mill on 3/21/15, about a 6.5 mile float that took us a little over 3.5 hours including a brief lunch on the beach at diving rock. If you just float (don't paddle) it takes about 5 hours. Water level around 3 ft which I think is about 2100 cfs. It was a nice relaxing paddle on a beautiful day. Saw otters in multiple places. I'm told they can be aggressive but they didn't give us any trouble. Nice stretch to float if you aren't looking for a big adrenaline ride. I took 3 newbies with almost no experience paddling and my dog in my kayak and we didn't have any trouble. We were in two tandem sit-on-tops. Watch out for fly fisherman at the takeout, they can clog up the area pretty well.
