Wildlife Seen: A level 3 Atmospheric River event occured on the 14/15th this led to >100% bankful cleaning the streambed of algae and blowing out debris jam at 400m; waters at time reported to be very turbid. Flows had dropped and water clarity improved by this survey date. The end point now appears to be passable to Chum and Coho. However steepish set of long cascades beyond jam likely deters Chum from further migration. The eastern side channel was not surveyed due to safety concerns with local bear.
