Looks like Peshastin has been in lately and is popping up to nice levels now.

Has anyone been in there recently and know the wood situation?

I got out there a few times last month when it came in. Boy is she a blast!

Wood: there was one noteworthy piece of lumber. The new tree is located just above Fresh Squeezed. Basically, the river bends hard left around a big basalt outcropping. This bend is just above the cable that is stretched across the river that indicates that you are coming up on FS. There was plenty of room to sneak by. Stay far left on the inside of the bend. The tree is big; root ball oriented upstream with the top of the tree making contact with the river right bank. Could be bad news if it caught you with your guard down, but it's an easy enough sneak if you have your whits about you and know where it is.

Have fun!
Hit me up when you come out!

I can't recall where it was, I'm pretty sure it was well downstream of "Fresh Squeezed", there is a big white house with a green roof on the right bank.

Large riverwide strainer, mandatory portage. Could sneak up on you if you were sleeping. We eddied left but there is a much better portage eddy on river right, we just didn't see it and it was time to find an eddy. The river left eddy resulted in some bushwhacking.

This log was below the alternative take out that is on private property. If you use the Bennett take out keep your eyes open.

Thanks everyone for their input. I made a river alert that covers the wood hazards mentioned here. I took a pass on running it this past weekend... level got a little high for my tastes. Hopefully will get out there soon.

Given the location of a lot of the wood I would say that running it high will be less of a pain than running it lower. Some of the stuff that is just sticking out from the banks is where the deepest water is, making avoiding some of that stuff at lower flows a bit of a rocky chore.
