Lots of wood
| Reporter | Alex Kerney |
| Flow | Too Low |
While one of the bigger piles of strainers has been cleaned up by more recent high flows, there was a reasonable amount of wood in the flow starting around 1.5 miles down from Coos Canyon. Many are sneakable around 3.2 feet (which is really starting to get too low with the gravel bars). The lower stretch from Rare Woods, till 120 heads away from the river was clean last month, except for a log parallel to the river tucked behind bedrock on the left right where you want to sneak around the ledge.
