The swell in some sections of Columbia is strongly affected by the river bottom bending, amplifying and or, reflecting the swell as it moves up stream. The swell on the shore at the event site is much bigger than last year because of a reflection coming off the WS bar. You can feel the new cross chop in the main cannel half way to the WS bar.

DONE AND DONE.......

So what happens next? Crews still need to finish wrestling with the log jam in the Narrows and tree planting will happen in the former reservoir area. There’s lots on monitoring left to do and lose ends to tie up, but this dam removal’s just about wrapped!

Now, I know what you’re wondering. Yes, we have the complete timelapse footage of the dam removal processed and ready to go. And no, you can’t see it. Yet. (Sorry!) I’m producing a special for PBS about Condit and the timelapse footage will premiere with the show sometime this spring. Once it has aired, we’ll put both the complete show and the timelapase footage here on the site. In the meantime, just keep rewatching the footage from breach day…

I've been waiting for their long overdue update, nice heads-up. Also "Wet Planet" website has a video of the first trips down the lower white salmon, for advanced only because of logs and hydraulics that are tricky.

Sooo, I was out fishing in august, river was pretty low and there was not a sand bar in sight...

I'm curious, has anyone seen it lately?
