You will not make it with a prop even in higher water. If you don’t know river no chance advise against it. Ur screwed if prop shears off which will likely happen and river can be unforgiving
MDC should look into this issue…trout were reproducing and that needs to continue. I agree more traffic and fishing on river in addition to possible otter population has affected trout population. May need to consider reducing limits and size restrictions until healthy population can be restored
Fished river past two days. River pretty low hard to navigate with jet but managed. Fish bite slow but steady caught good number of trout and a few decent size. Had river almost to ourselves except few kayaks and one other boat. Weather nice and wildlife out and about. Parking lot at whiten has water flowing thru it. Was told beaver dam on a spring in area diverted water to parking area kind of a mess.
