This is just a public service announcement about the wood condition on McCoy. My buddy Trip and I dropped in there last Tuesday, and were very discouraged to find around 30 log portages, as well as at least as many other spots where he had do dodge, duck, or slide over logs. It looks like a heavy wet snow event this spring brought down a ton of new wood. Between McCoy and Yellowjacket, we were in there for 7+ hours, most of it spend dodging wood.

I would say that until a big winter rain on snow event flood cleans it out, McCoy should be off the list.

Yellowjacket is clean and good to go - all wood visible and easily avoidable.

Both were at perfect levels on Mon/Tues of last week.

Here's a link to pics from my trip out there:

Hey Leland,
Great pix.

Just a quick question re: Yellow Jacket. Couldn't tell if you ran Yellow Jacket from the Bennett put-in down in addition to running it as the continuation from McCoy.

The reason I ask is that last year YellowJacket below McCoy was clean but there was a ton of wood in the first rapid below the Bennett put-in. Just wondering...

Thanks.
