Has anyone ran the Yentna this past week or so? The NOAA site only shows a forecasted water level, nothing current. Forecasted levels indicate that it is pretty low....

Launch level is below culvert and not bad, Big Sue to Scary tree short cut was pretty good too but, Short cut through Scary Tree is absolutly a no-go at junction of Yentna. Winched over 600ft to get back to deeper water last saturday as the water through shortcut just disapeared just before dropping into Yentna and dang sure wasnt deep enough to get back on step. Made for long day!

Mikeit's great little winch.

Yes that little winch is a life/back saver. Just hook it up, anchor off to something and walk along next to the boat. In this case we used a smitty built anchor that is designed for trucks, but it dug into that wet silt and held really well! The hardest part was digging out the anchor once it dug in.
Winch pulls at about 20fpm so yes slow but beats trying to push! haha I keep about 400ft of rope on the boat and can pull 300ft in single pull, so that speeds things up some.

The yentna was very very high this morning.Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming-----WOW-----what a ride!
