I ran Upper and Lower Mish with some friends yesterday. We had a swimmer. Josh and I chased her boat from the tunnel turn to Mish Falls before loosing it. It turned up later below Mish falls. There was also a raft swimmer who evidently had a broken leg and was hypothermic. I didn't see the accident, but hear the ambulences.

Anyone planning on doing it around 5 feet should have a solid roll and good river reading skills. Dress appropriately. A swim is bad news in these conditions, as you can see from the previous day's drowning.
