Going to attempt my first drift of the upper Wynoochee. What's roughly the float time from White Bridge to 13 corners. Any suprises or tough spots along the way? Thanks.

If meant the 7400 to white bridge. It is an all day float. You have to fish fast or things can get real interesting. Have not floated this year but, know others who have. Couple of interesting spots. Not aware of any sweepers. pay attention to the horizon line and get out and scout.
Do not lolly gag or you will spending the night or floating in the dark!

If your talkin white bridge to crossover its short, 2 miles I would say. White brideg or crossover to black creek would be a better on its 8 or 9 miles. Not really any tough spots on the Nooch, wish there was might thin out the crowd. Oh I mean watchout for the big sweepers and boulder gardens around every corner. Good Luck

Hiking around up in the canyon area below the dam I found some pontoon boats that were completely mangled a few years back. I've heard stories of guys not knowing better and thinking they can pack the toon down below the fish collection area and let er rip, what a mistake, that water makes the sol duc look easy.

Come on Strike Zone in the not so distant past I know a hole between white bridge and crossover you would spend 1/4 of the day in and be punched out when you left. Sadely to say those where the days... Matt

Bad news, the big cliff hole about 4 miles above Carter Creek gave way yesterday evening, right across from that pole structure. Tossing mud and debris downstream as we speak.
Oh well, no reason to fish this weekend, as the Super Bowl will be on.
