The first Talkeetna River Reports of the season...
Fly with TAT - Monday, June 27, 2011
Hey all you rafters out there, we just flew out our first group to Yellow Jacket to run the Talkeetna River.
Here are the conditions that we have from the group....

The landing strip at Yellow jacket.

We just flew in with TAT and floated the Talkeetna. After the entrance to Toilet Bowl a log is jammed at the narrow spot below the entrance wave and above Toilet Bowl. At the water level we ran it at Saturday, June 25, the log and some branch stubs were exposed at the middle section. It appears that water is flowing over the log at the left and right sides, but the very powerful eddies on either side force rafts over the middle. Our 3 rafts all got hung up attempting to run over the log and made for some very exciting moments of high siding, weight shifting, and thinking about jettisoning cargo. We made it, but I wouldn’t want to try it at a lower level. It needs some chain saw work if it can be figured out how to access it to cut.
-Thanks to Kelly and the group for the current reports.
