Yellowjacket is amazingly clean. I remember only one walk/sneak about half way down. You can boof the big cottonwoods across the river above the bridge.

So there IS a Bridge!
What about flows. What sort of flows does one look for on the Cispus to ensure good water in there?
Screw the wood. We'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

I was talking about the takout bridge. Big cottonwoods down just upstream. Not sure about winter flows, but we like 3k on the Cispus gauge in the spring.

JP, Cascade Classics has several trip reports with photos at different levels. It seems the correlation isn't really all that accurate, but it's the best that there is unless we get a working gage on the creek.

Also look at Hunter's videos from Yellowjacket that are posted on AW. I'm pretty sure that trip was in January. That was 2500cfs on the Cispus but compared to Cascade Classics 2500 on the Cispus, our flow was much bigger. It depends a lot on the amount of snow in the hills, the amount of snow falling, the amount of rain falling, and how high up the melting is starting.
I really want to get on that thing in my cat. We got stomped in there with duckies at the high flow years ago.....

I read the TR about the upper put-in (awesome and GREAT photos!) but was hard to tell if there is a decent sized eddy above the 40'er for rafts/cats. From photos, the rest looked good to go - including the 1'st waterfall. TR sounded like last minute eddy out above the 40'er but are there other / better places if one knows about when it's coming up?
Thanks,
--Shelly
