Low and clear. Fished today with no luck. Two rods all day and covered lots of water. Not many guys on the river though.

River is in nice shape right now but not a lot of fish being caught. Heard of two caught at Lickman, but not much else.

I will have a report in a couple of hours. I was referring to the water levels at the Crossing as it has gone from a low of 2.08 on the gauge to 2.20 when I last checked.

River conditions were not as bad as I thought they would have been with all the rain we have had the last while. I have taken the odd fish in such conditions with visibility between 1 and 2 feet at 2 PM in the Lower.

Still raining so it could get worse as the day progresses. :-\
