I was just down there, and it's still high but it's dropped quite a bit, there is shore access again in some spots...it's not totaly brown anymore it's more of a grey color...There was a bunch of people fishing sweltzer creek where it dumps into the vedder,because the water is clean there...very crowded..heres a updated pic from a hour ago.

Love to see honest water condition reports ... good on ya! :)  Reports of water clarity are often, shall we say, exaggerated.

Great to hear that the river is improving.
I am sure a lot of people, including myself, have great hopes for this comming weekend.
Thanks for the photo. :)

I went down to peach to take a look...was a couple guys fishing...but it's still very colored..basically no vis...Some nice looking runs in that area...would have been great if it was clean.
