Default Macks to the mouth?

thinking of doing this float and I know a bunch of you have before. I haven't gone any further than Macks and just wanted to know what kind of timeline and what to expect from the trip? I'm thinking of chasing steel with the 2 handers and some trout as well. Any info would be appreciated.

limited shade. 2 rapids between macks and the lower 10 miles, neither are a big deal in a DB. The last 10 miles go very fast so stay high as long as possible. Do not pass a camp with shade if it is open. Put on at o dark thirty each day and pull off early preferably with shade and decent camp water. Water temps are between 66-69 degrees and fishing seems to shut down when the temps hit the high end. Assume you have the blm guide, use it to plan your distance. send me a pm if you want more specifics. You may see me down there in the mirror bright willie. I'll be with my wife and my dog. Say hi if you see me.

Good luck.

Sam
