This is a predominantly flat stretch with little fast water. Best fishing provided by catfish and smallmouth. Take out on right at bridge.
--My Notes
Kayak: Sea Kayak Malibu II (tandem kayak, with just me)
I spent about 7 hours doing this section but I went slow (fishing, lots of breaks). There were a few places my kayak got stuck but I didn't have to get out to move forward. At this river level I would not have wanted to go tandem or being in a canoe. There were some long stretches where you felt more like paddling a lake than river. But overall a good stretch if you want to be make a day of it, get some fishing and relaxation in. Pull out a columbia was nice. Cell phone coverage along this section was not possible until you got end. (and then it was not great.)
