| Gauge Reading | 1800 cfs at YANKEE FORK SALMON RIVER NR CLAYTON ID |
We ran on 14-June-2022 at 1800-2000 cfs, class IV at this flow in my opinion. There was a wood pile blocking the left half of the channel about 1/4 mile below the forest service bridge in the crux of the run. This jam is probably the same as the picture posted on 29-May and is visible from road side but not from the bridge. The right channel was clear. There was also a river-wide wood pile completely blocking the channel approximately 200 yds above the confluence, but not visible from the highway bridge. We carried out above this last jam thru a dispersed camping area next to the Sunbeam Village.
