Hello All -
I'm planning a spring bear excursion and looking at the Chulitna for an early May hunt. The tentatively plan is to float from the the East Fork put in to Talkeetna but I am open to comments. Has anyone been down the river that early in the year? My boat is a 16 ft NRS Cataraft, will there be enough water in the East fork in early May to avoid lots of dragging? Should I bring a chain saw for possible log jams?
How about float duration – from other posts under normal flows the East fork to Talkeetna could be done in about 2-4 days. Would the timing be significantly different in early May?
Any and all information would be appreciated.
