Cassiar River??

[BromBones]

Curious if a guy can run up it any distance in a jet boat, or if it's too narrow/bony to do. The guys I know who've been up the Turnagain never went that far.

Reason I ask is I'm making some plans for next summer when I quit my job - thinking about hauling a camp, grub supply, & canoe up the Turnagain & getting dropped off. Spend the first part of the summer fishing, hiking/exploring, and come August I'll poke around in the hills for a critter :wink: When I'm ready to come out I'll load up the canoe and drift down to the Kechika & on out.

The Cassiar River's an area that interests me, so if anyone's got some info to share I'd be glad to hear it.

Cheers

Do you know if the Cassiar is up river or downriver from Turnagain Falls? If it is above the falls I am pretty dam sure there is no way around it in a boat. Some pretty serious falls. Great country though, a good place to muck around.

I know it's right there, and seem to remember being told it's below the falls. Got a few contact #'s of guys who can give me the scoop.

I believe the Cassiar river is just below the falls on the upper Turnagain. I wouldnt exactly call it a river more of a creek. Pretty cranky mountainous in that spot.
