Even with all the rain we had last night the river stayed in as the snow level was down. When I picked up a coffee at Tims cars coming from the East had some snow on them.
Fished from first light until about 9:30 and then went for coffee and did not see a fish during that time period but very few anglers around. One angler said he spooked a couple of steelhead while crossing a tailout of a run when it was still dark. Said he was as scared as much as the fish were.
I was back at the river after the coffee break around 11. Sure nice to have longer than the 15 minute breaks we got at work.
Fished some nice water until the end of tubing time, around 2:45 and did see a hatchery taken where I had just fished.
Also heard of a 16 pounder taken and The Master lost one but that was it.Maybe some other areas saw some more fish taken. Water conditions improved as the day went on I thought and hopefully the fishing will tomorrow too.
