Hey Jims4,
Check out this other recent Stuart messageboard for some trip beta.

There's also a very in-depth trip report that is very recent where he went in at Stuart and beyond.

Can’t speak to current river levels but I’d assume it’s lower just like most of the BW right now. Loved the Stuart EP when I did it, great seclusion. As far as leeches, I only checked VNO but they were out as of a week ago when we entered so I would assume it’s fairly similar around town. Have an awesome time! There are some great sites.
