Hankster, have you ever put in about gasque and float down to the park, or just to the forks. There has to be enough water to make the gorge passable, But that is one nice drift, Patricks creek to just below gasqu can be a nice float with the right water, And very productive. I grew up fishing and floating it in the mid 70's to about 84. caught some nice fish in that river, Still go down for an anaul fishing trip with my father on the Smith and Chetco yearly
