I doubt it will have dropped significantly by the weekend, but the river's been fishable for a while now.  The river's very high but the visibility is good (relative to how it typically is during rain induced flows). 

I did a bit of scouting last Saturday and only managed a small jack for my 5 hours of fishing.  Finding red springs hasn't been easy the past few years (at least not for myself).  Just be sure to move around a lot and look for water you might typically fish during lower flows.

Is anyone wearing waders this time of year, or is it wet wading?

waders arent needed in the vedder. i've spent around 10 hours in the water (at times up to waist) over the past 2 days its not bad at all

i enjoy being dry. I just roll them down to the wading belt so they sit at your waist.

Waders arnt needed, but theres no way your going to be standing in the water for more then a couple minutes, never mind waist deep.

Sounds like a split decision. I'll take waders and roll them down.  ;D
Thanks.

I wet wade until mid September and sometimes even later into the year in the Vedder. I actually made it into late October one year because we had a gorgeous indian summer  ;D not to mention that fishing was stellar that year
