Back in the 60's when I was a kid before they bulldosed out log jams on the Sky and Beckler rivers the trout where huge and the summer runs were always near the jams. Teh closest I ever came to drowning was under a log jam when I slid on a slippery log. I sold 6 log truck loads when I cleared my land to a WDFW contractor. They cut the trees and then cut off all the limbs took them to area rivers and drilled the limb holes and reattached the limbs. they paid 3x the market rate for cedar.
