What a difference a new day makes. Twenty four hours following my last visit to the river, this is what I discovered yesterday. On Friday, I visited the "Picnic Hole" and sat on one of my favorite logs for awhile and watched the river. At that time the bank in which I sat was about five feet above the water edge. Although, broken ice was present, it was flowing uninhibited to the sea. On Saturday, the log upon which I sat, was not in sight. I surely do hope that it survives the ice and high water. Currently, the major ice jam runs from the bottom of the "Dudas Hole" to the top of "Gus's Run"
The Anchor River is now in flood stage with some minor flooding crossing the Anchor Point Beach Road in the vicinity of the Coho Campground.

Although, some minor damages occur when the river floods, these big pieces of ice and high water is mother natures way of removing the excess silt that covers the spawning beds during low water periods. If mankind would just stay out of the way, nature will protect the river.
