Report question

Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in website requests, but, here it is. Which section covers the confluence of the Spokane Arm to Little Falls dam? Posting a report this morning for our outing in the Spokane Arm yesterday I noted there is no section covering the arm, confluence north and confluence south are there, but nothing upstream from the confluence unless that entire section (from the ID border to the confluence) falls under the Spokane River.

basically from highway 25 east is Spokane river, and the Columbia flows from Canada out of Kinbasket lake

Not sure, maybe Aaron can chime in.

Just wondered because if you read the reports you'll find a lot of people use section 18 of the Columbia for reporting in the section from Hwy 25 bridge upstream to Little Falls Dam, which is what I did this morning. No one is reporting under the Spokane River for the body of water below Little Falls Dam, or at least I couldn't find any reports. Lots in section 18 though. Just thinking out loud, but maybe a new section to define that area would be appropriate.

Most people do use the Section 18, and that's fine I suppose, but in a perfect world they would use the Spokane River.

Perhaps most people launch from somewhere on the Columbia, then head up river, and to them it's a Roosevelt trip, not a Spokane River trip.

Yep, could be Aarron. I don't fish the arm very often so wasn't real sure when I submitted my report yesterday and after searching reports to determine where to submit, I chose what others have done too.
