there is still a bit of construction going on for the first 8 or so k of the gravel on east end but it is nearing an end. most of it is graded and gravelled with just a small portion needing gravel to finish it off. lot nicer drive then Aug long.
that being said the rest of the road is very washboarded. be careful going around corners and downhill because of the washboard.
as for log trucks was there none on the long weekend and . must of took the weekend off. most of the logging seems to be between km 42 and roughly km 55. there is a lot of activity up Trout Rd and a couple of new roads into cut blocks along the road. didn't see any sign of activity along the road that parrallels the river. there is a new bridge (i think it was there last year also) at about km 65 that heads arcoss the river and south. think it was called the Pinto mainline rd.
as for the fishing only fished about 2hrs on monday but they were jumping like crazy at every pool. huge mayfly hatch going on and they were very active. landed 4 and had about 6 or so on that spit the hook before i could land them. biggest was about 14" or so others in the 10 - 12 range. very colorful and healthy looking.
good luck
Mike
