    Early season low water run (300cfs). Guardrail is going to need some chainsaw love. Rapid under warmup has a tree blocking the right channel. House rapid right channel is blocked with wood. Flat water 2-300m above 5 fingers has a mandatory portage for a river wide tree. The lead in to 5 fingers has a mandatory portage for a river wide tree. 5 fingers has wood throughout that is avoidable. Multiple downed trees that will come into play once the water comes up. It looks like Willow had some serious wind events this past winter. The driveway into and out of redgate has 1/2 dozen trees down blocking access right now.
