me and a buddy from work plan to float the russian in kayaks (after the rain stops and the river clears up which may be a couple weeks) i was looking for recomendations of good places to put in and take out.also does anyone know of anyone that runs shuttles out there?
The only shuttle I know of (Burke's) is shut down for the winter. I have heard a popular float is to start at Memorial Beach in Healdsburg and end at Steelhead Beach in Forestville. Total bummer the River got blown out this week. It barely became clear enough for spin/bait fishing last weekend.
Wohler Bridge is a long hike from the river back to the parking lot carrying a kayak. Steelhead, you can drive down to the river to load up your kayak.
If you let me know when you're coming, I might be talked into shuttling you. I live two minutes from the River and have several days off during the week. Or, maybe we can figure out a way that I can float with you on my pontoon boat leaving one car on each end.

Send me a message if you are interested. I will provide a phone # when needed.

I would call the old Trowbridge number. I don't know what it is. It's in Healdsburg right at Memorial bridge where I am. Google away. It's under new ownership as of last year. They have a couple nice looking little used pram aluminum style drift boats out front too. They are small but I think both would be perfect for solo trips.
