Water conditions excellent again today but the wind was a nuisance. A more detailed report later under fishing reports as I have more than a water condition report.

Was out today fishing mid river.  First thing this morning it was a bit colored up, by noon it was better, maybe 3ft vis.  With this rain, it probably won't last long.  Warm temperatures also mean snow melt from the hills.

The Lower was not that great first thing either but improved to very good conditions later in the afternoon. I heard a chunk of clay fell in overnight. Unfortunately it started raining very hard a dark. More detailed report under fishing report later.

Took 2 weeks off to go fishing but it looks like it might not be fishable tomorrow.

You guys think it will be okay tomorrow???


I hate to say for sure as one never knows what will happen over night but it is raining hard now and with clay falling in maybe one should save your brownie points for another day. I guess one could take a chance on the Upper. :-\

Raining very hard the last while, I will go out on a limb now that things will be a washout tomorrow. I would check the water levels in the AM as a double check if anyone wants to take a chance it could be fishable.

I heard visibility was about 6 inches first thing in the Lower, when I looked an hour ago it had improved to around 1 foot. I thought it would have been worse. Stopped at 4 spots and saw a good number of people fishing, no sign of fish on though. River up about a foot from yesterday.

No rain this afternoon or tonight so far. May be worth a boo tomorrow.

Water was good in the Lower when I looked at it around 10 AM, lots of people out.

Even though the water was in good shape all day the reports I got fishing was very slow for the amount of people out.

Raining in Langley now.  Doesn't look to good for a few days.  The river will get a bit of a rest.  Good luck to those who do venture out.

Water was great in the upper. Fished from Alison downriver about a mile and back. Was really hoping today would be the day :'( but no joy.
