For those that wished for rain a few days ago they got their wish overnight. Along with that came the mud and the river is unfishable in the Lower at  the time of this post.

river had 3' of visibility when I got there this morning, and by 8am it had risen 6"-8" with about 12" of vis. Very few fish rolling but did see their wakes as they moved on through some of the shallower sections.

Definately a big change from yesterday morning. Crystal clear to mud. Was still fishable at first light this morning but got worse quickly. Made for crappy fishing today but should bring some more fish into the river which will be good. Hopefully it comes up a bit more too.

Water cleared up some but some more rain up in the Chilliwack River Valley tonight. Of course conditions are fine above the slides. I am betting conditions will be OK in the Lower tomorrow too, thats if the rain holds off.

Slipped out this morning and found the water perfect but I had too many steelhead smolts stealing my bait to get a good drift in, landed one clipped one about 12 inches long. Found some nice water for later in the month.
Went up to the hatchery after and there was some nice coho in there. ;D ;D
