AH .. When are you projected to be there ? the secech is dropping out get it now !! the SF Salmon is holding and may get a bump but not sure it will go big again this year. water level is subjective to the paddler... above 5' is getting to be the real deal SF big water feal anything below 5' is good to go for most folks who have never done it. real high isnt till 7' and higher but again folks go in higher.   There are two bigger rapids I would scout.. Have fun !!!

Where is Yellow Pine?

I was there a couple weeks ago. Doubt there's enough snow for it to go big again, even back then didn't look like there was a ton left up high.

FLUID is talking about the Krassel gauge. Current flows (4.3) are just about perfect for a first time run in my opinion. Secesh is probably pretty bony now. Watch for wood.

I'd add that if you're looking at the full Secesh, the shuttle from the put in to all the other runs you're talking about is long - maybe 3hrs one way? There's a road and you can run the last few miles of the Secesh from the Yellowpine area. If you are looking at the full deal, the French Cr road should be open now.

Heading in this weekend .. we'll give you a Secech update on monday. You should really try for getting on that its super classic and makes for a cool way to get into the sf and adds a day to your trip with no roads.....
