In 2004 the lodge at Corn Creek had a jet boat service you could rent. I used it for a sheep hunt in 20.

Not sure, where you're coming from or how. Guessing the trip around to North Fork, ID is out of the question but you can hunt 19 from the Main Salmon River road out of Riggens, no boat needed.

We were going to run the lower salmon this weekend but flow weren’t right. But yes she will be booming later this month. Just got a report there’s still a foot or more on top of Garden creek. We are hoping by first week of May things open up a little. We have 6 Oregon bear tags and a pocket full of Idaho tags
On my sheep hunt in 04, we went down in mid October. My brother was going to bring his boat to make the run down from Corn Creek. My brother operates jet boats as his job and has done it for a long time. He decided not to bring his boat, thankfully. We were in a 25' foot twin jet, and that was sketchy, big water.

A mile in that country will eliminate 90%+ of people.

But if you're driving in from Wyoming you could go into 20 from the east side too.

60 degrees and an inch of rain would make mess out of things.

We ended up spending 8 days in hells canyon got dropped off hiked in and climbed to the 5000 ft mark and the wife killed a big red boar on the first hunting day and I killed a average boar on the last day
What an amazing place I’ll go every year I trained every day for eight weeks preparing for the hunt if I hadn’t I’d have never made the hike if it was any steeper you couldn’t walk on it
I had a 65 pound pack and the wife’s was around 46 we sure figured out what we don’t need next year
If I knew how to post pictures I would
