I've learned some lessons...

-Only float it if you know someone else has recently done the same float.
-If the river splits scout all the way down. (regardless of how tired you are)

After talking to a friend of mine I decided to float hatchery to maxfield, instead of the lower river. What better opportunity to see water I may not feel comfortable doing at normal flows. (dumb)

Some highlights:
Wife was literally rammed by a few salmon while walking down various rapids. I was startled multiple times by the same thing.

Tested out a new lure recovery tool. An extension pole with a 175lb pull magnet on the end. Worked really well.

Took the wrong path down a fork and pushed/pulled the cataraft down this:


Hooked a few fish, didn't land anything. Fishing was real tough with sun on the water.
