FYI
Just above Slide, right in the middle of the boulders there's a root ball with a log or two attached. There's no real easy way around it. Go to the left, tuck in your oars, do your best in the boils. You may hit the rocks with your boat and do cookies, but that's still better than getting caught in the logs. It's enough of a concern at 1050 cfs now, if it gets lower when the temps cool off, it will be a problem.

Any opportunity to walk the boat around it?

Zero.

This is what it looked like Oct. 6, 2018.

Hopefully that sucker gets knocked loose this winter, definitely a little pucker factor for the end of your drift.

At least the one below Stinson opened up this season.

This is a place between Leidl and Stinson now that is hard to get over. It used to be a run full of chinook spawning, and a good place to find a steelhead a little farther downstream where the run went left against a cliff before making a left turn into the "Long Hole" along the Haul Road on the right. Now a big tongue of gravel has crept down into that run so there is no where to go. All the flow gets strained though this gravel bar, no way left or right. You have to get out and drag your boat quite a ways.

Not as bad as it looks. Did it several times @ 700ish with a couple of 200lbs dudes in the boat. Looks scary, but it really ain't that bad if you know how to row.

There has always been wood in that slot.
