The river definitely was not blown out on Sunday, but I did not have any luck myself. The river looked great, especially up top. A little more colour in the lower sections but still decent visibility. I only heard of one fish hooked in the mid section across from "the tree." I fished from "the tree" down to the fork, and I was the first through the big run above the fork. I also tried that little run that I had chicken out on last time out. The river had dropped a couple of feet so the wade across was easy enough, but the drop in water made the run smaller as well. It still looked like it might hold something, even a bull trout would have been nice, but alas... I also fished a run above Allison Canyon but it had been well worked over by a group of four before me. I did see a small fish roll in the tail out, a small trout of some sort, but could not entice it to take my offering. I was drifting egg sucking leeches and swinging green butted skunk patterns, I even tried drifting a stone fly, but that might have been a little premature.
