Its called the little bluff, about 60 yards from stevens creek hole, ever since the snag blew out its been getting worse, and the gravel bar on the left has been moving out, making the boil bigger, and a bitch to get thru, hopfully the spring storms will change that, and push the river more to the left agian, you guys are very lucky the river didnt suck you under that ledge. So glad you made it safe...

That spots is pretty dicey at 3500cfs with 2 fat guys as my passengers the day before SRC. Thankfully my boat is fairly wide. I were to do it over I'd hang right and follow the main current and power forward through the boils

I've not rowed that part of the Humptulips in 30 years but when I looked down river from Stevens Creek there is a large gravel bar on the left....so yes you could rope a boat past that part.....
just don't wait too long to get on the gravel bar......from where I was standing it looked like "innocent water" but apparently not.
Lots of boats have gone over that water this fishing season....I've not heard of another boat having problems

When the levels are normal, Its not hard to go thru, If the log is still there, its not as easy, but still not hard, but when the levels up like over 2k or more, it pushes right to the ledge, or you get stuck in the boil, and have to row out of it, yes you can walk around, but you'll need extra rope, and some patients, you have to keep the ass of the boat to the left, theres a couple shallow spots on the left than it drops off, you have to be in control of your sticks at all times if the rivers up. If the rivers up like 3000 or 3500 there should be a small passege on the left, unless the grave bar filled in more. If another snag builds to the right, that gravel bar on the left will change and open up that spot agian.
