Easy Drift taking 6 to 8 hours, if fishing. Could probably blow through in 2 hours. Many washed bars, but at 5000cfs you may not even hit bottom. Stay to the left on first corner leaving bridge. There is one spot that as you look down the river it appears you could go staight but turns into a huge bar with many channels cut through. You will get stuck if you go that way. Lot's of Eagles.
Good Luck.

Fairly easy drift, you'd have to be really careless to get into trouble. After you launch and go under the railroad bridge you can safely ride the "v" in the first fast water, no rocks, just orient yourself so you can dig to the right side as soon as you can cuz there is a second riffle that is actually a flat rock on the left. This will put you into a picture perfect deep hole that has a very attractive tail-out. When your through having your way with this spot exit the hole on the left side cuz the right is a bolder garden. After that it's all common sense.
