I have a 16' Tracker with a 60 hp. motor that I have taken there 4 times now this summer. Like Kent said, the river current is no problem, but the wind is your enemy.
With a 25hp motor it will take a while to get back to the ramp (a distance of 8-9 miles from the middle of Res.), if the wind picks up. Because you are in a canyon, the wind creates large waves quickly. Kent gave me the name of a great wind forecaster called Windfinder.com that gives a 8-9 day forecast and it has proven to be fairly accurate, as weather forecasting goes. Avoid winds over 12mph..
