Looks to be a good upstream pocket off the RDB at the 300 foot wide entrance to the RDB chute behing Mortland Island. Unfortunately there were several snags in the channel and we did not go close. Depth on the right side was greater than 8' normal pool off the channel. No cell service for three providers.
