Thought the river may be somewhat fishable, fished for 2hrs in the early morning pretty much un fishable, lots brown on edge from creeks plus flowing fast.
gonna take at least a day or 2 until that water is clear enough for fish to see anything.
should have known better but I wanted a bite only seen 3other guys.

Slipped out this afternoon and was surprised to see visibilty much improved. I would say it was around 30 inches. Fished some nice runs but my record remains intact for this season. ::) ??? :o

Water conditions good when I just checked. Temperature presently 1 C  with a NE wind.

Some slippery sections on the side roads, also be carefully when walking as very slippery in spots, especially parking lots.

I was out today until 230pm, clarity got slightly worse as the day progressed from pretty nice to decently nice, below crossing had the best visibility and it got better the lower you went
