According to the graph it came up 10 centimeters late in the day and has dropped half of that already . It may have chalked up at Borden Creek at 2 pm but by the time I was finished just before noon the water did have about 2 feet at the Crossing . But don't believe me , I'll can just go back to keeping info to myself . I live pretty close to the river and see it all the time .

I fished until 1:30pm yesterday and our last spot of the day was mid river and the water was avery nice 3foot average visibility. was even better in the lower first thing in the morning. The rain really started coming down around 1pm and you could literally watch the water get worse every few minutes.

 Drove to the Crossing and it looks like it's improved quite a bit today from what it was reported to have looked like late yesterday . Weather looks good today , should be good tomorrow.

Heard the River was looking good today, just wondering if it will be blown out Wednesday after the 20-30mm rain forecasted for tonight/tomorrow.

The River was toast around 1pm today, Puking from Borden down. Tamahi was at 6 inch vis when I left around 4:30... But water levels seemed to have stayed the same, If it stops raining it should clean up quick.

Hopefully you get the "light" version of the cold that's going around.  It's just some congestion and a cough.  The other version is not so much fun and lasts a few weeks.  Hope your feeling better soon.

Water was clear yesterday evening so it's probably unchanged today. No rain here....

Crazy hard pounding wind, snow and rain yesterday late in the evening. Did it affect the water?
