Water was lime colored in the upper sections but in the lower sections it was a bit muddy. Caught a nice bull trout in the upper section today but no hookups with steel, conditions were not horrible by any stretch.

Just got back spent the day on the upper and water was 4-6 feet of visiblity and quite clear. Just below the bridge was about 18 inches of visiblity as of noon and lower was pretty murky. Few caught today and will try to post my report at some point. No steel for us today :( beautiful day out though and I feel sorry for those of you that decided to take a pass ;)

Went out for my first trip of the year and brought my bro who's visiting from California.  Had I known that he'd hook and land a wild steelie after his fourth cast, I would have left him at home! :D ;).   No steel yet for me though.  Conditions were great above the slides and and visibility was only about 2ft below.

Yes it did not look very good when I drove over the Freeway Bridge this morning on the way to Abbotsford. I guess the heavy rain we are having contributed to it.

Just got back from fishing the upper.  Everything looks perfect above the Allison slide.  Conditions did not appear to be deteriorating as far as I could tell, only light rain coming down. 

Only thing missing was the fish :(
