With spring around the corner, I would like to talk about the best time of year to tackle this smaller rivers. i'm new to jets, just got me a 21' sport with a 383 stroker. can a guy get up any of these smaller tributaries (on the eastern slpopes) in spring runoff with a 20 degree and heavy motor?
can someone give me a list of possible candidates and best time.

...checked a few more off the old "list" this past week.
Ran the Muskwa and Tuchodi, up to the Tuchodi falls. Then over to the Sikanni to the falls. And finally the Murray to the Kinuseo falls. About 400 miles and a lot of smiles.
