Thought I posted this last night in here but apparently it didn't go through.
As many of you already know I am on the upper Skagit or Sauk just about every day. Yesterday was the first day since last weeks high water that I ran my sled down below Rockport.
HOLLY SHIZNIT!!!!!!!
Major change on the Sauk. New mouth of the Sauk is now about 1/4 of a mile down river from where it was three weeks ago. River cut a new path straight through the woods.
MAJOR SWEEPER WARNING!!!!!!!!! This one will definately clame a boat!!! I wouldn't even attempt to row it!!!!! There's a 3 1/2 foot in diameter Cottonwood that spans the entire river on a hard corner with some major flow.
NO GETTIN' AWAY FROM THIS ONE!!!!!!
I have a good logger friend that will be going out with me one evening here after fishing to help get it out of there before the weekend if possible. Only problem is that it is a Cottonwood under pressure and there's always a chance it will "Barber Chair" and pop. He's the Pro and I'll let him make the call on it. May end up having to wait for another real high water and just hope it goes away. By ther looks of it now it would take a major high water to take it out.
I will update this as soon as its taken care of and hope that Bob and RT will keep this up for all to see before someone attempts to float the lower Sauk.
