Heading to forks for the weekend. Bringing my 14' cataraft.
Wanted to try floating the lower sol duc. Part fishing, part snorking for lures (the wife enjoys this a lot).

I'm very familiar with the bank portion of this stretch (I grew up in forks) but I haven't floated it. I'm a little hesitant to do it given some of what I've heard but summer seemed the safest time. I figured I can always just get out and wade/walk the boat down w/ a rope.

Float resume (each done quite a few times):
Bogi - 101 to 3 rivers
Sol duc - Maxfield to Whitcomb dimmel.
Kalama Red barn to i5.
Nisqually
Cowlitz
Quillayute

Is this a terrible idea?

Thanks for the input.
