Yankee Fork Update 5/28/2022
We launched roadside approximately 3 miles upstream of the confluence with the Salmon at about 1500 cfs, great run. There is a few pieces of wood visible along the road during the scout that were straightforward to approach, but I highly recommend you walk out to the final sharp bend and take a look at that woodpile before running. We neglected to do this and took the beta from a local river guide and got into a sticky situation on this logjam in a Jack's Culebra, R2. Right now the logjam covers 7/8 of the river width, with a small clearing on river right that is a difficult move in a larger boat, kayaks should be ok but should scout the line.
