Driftboating around Challis or Salmon

[SteelFisher]

I have floated from Forth of July creek above North Fork to a takeout below deadwater. There was nothing much to worry about down to deadwater. Below deadwater the river drops a little faster and there are a few more boulders to dodge. I don't remember the name of the place we took out but it was not a very good takeout and we were in the middle of a bad windstorm coming up the river. We had to get out and drag the boat the last 100 yards. I don't recall any rapids in this section and if I remember correctly we floated 18 miles of river.

I can't tell you anything about the river in the Challis area I have not floated that stretch.
