FlowMedium Flow

Ran this stretch on July 7 2023 at 545 cfs +/- on single IK's and ran a bike shuttle from bridge to bridge.

Top part was a fast braided rockbed w/ a lot of navigating and strainer avoiding. There was a river wide tree down aprox 1.5 miles below the bridge. Portaged on left. Lower section was more straight foreward w/ beautiful deep blue pockets and pretty obvious channels.
