New Wood on Bruno Mt run of North Santiam
JO was fishing early September on the Bruno run and saw a fallen tree that is blocking nearly the entire river. It is located about half way from the bruno mountain road put in and ricochet rapid. It is midway down the steep gradient (where the river narrows toward the left. I have heard it referred to as false ricochet and little ricochet. Due to the steep gradient there, I dont think that you would be aware of it until you were committed to the rapid. At this level it is visible (from the road) but at the runnable flows I dont think you would be so lucky.
Called the Detroit ranger office and left a voice mail with ranger Dave Hallameyer (503-854-4217) about the problem and of the need to have it removed due to the serious danger to boaters.
Please pass this on to any other list serv who might be interested.
