well seeing as i wont be out there again this year i will share. You can cross this little riffle waterright near the main flow) but its alot safer to just use a small boat to cross the channel and walk out which is what we did. We watched a few people walking through, first section was mid thigh and second wasnt even knee deep, with kids i would go the boat route unless you wanna piggy back each kid back and forth
fishing wasnt the greatest because the clarity was maybe a foot and was almost nothing everytime a boat went by and churned up the water. W caught a bunch of pinks but nothing like it normally is like. I took 1 doe home for dinner
We also watched 3 nice sturgeon caught a few hundred feet away from us, one being close to 7 feet
