Just wanted to start a thread for updates on this route,water levels,beaver dams etc.Ive got an early June E.P. so will update after that point.Anyone with current Intel feel free to update us.Happy Paddling my friends.

I have some friends in Q right now who may be coming out that way towards end of week. I've been in touch with them via InReach. Stay tuned....ill try to get water level info.

Kip and Sunny are on Keats tonight and should go thru DR tomorrow on their way to Pickerel Narrows. They have gotten drenched over the past few days....
Inches of rain, so the DR should be very paddle worthy I suspect.

Thanks for the current info cowdoc,keep it coming!

They got mostly windbound today...made it to Russel. Coming out DR tomorrow to Pickerel narrows.

Any mention of the bugs?

The "Deux" is a paddle to paddle and a half deep. 5 beaver dams....2 submerged, 3 with chutes....all 3 chutes can be floated downstream but only one can be paddled thru going upstream. They have been in 9 days and have not had much for bugs. Some ticks early along with some pecker gnats, BUT....nights have been cold . The woods are now super wet and Temps warm next week so, I suspect a bug explosion.

Mosquitoes haven't really picked up but the black flies swarm as soon as temps reach the 60s. I just came out of McAree on Sunday after 7 days of rain, wind, and cold temps. Water levels were definitely coming. Rebecca falls were roaring.

Great info,Thanks Cowdoc!Im sure I’m in for an buggy trip next week but hopefully the fishing will make up for the aggravation.I will post conditions after I’m out 3rd week of June.Tight lines my friends.
