Water condition were good in the Lower but it was very cool thanks to the strong North East wind blowing. Only fished for a short time, misssed a fish twice.

ha ha nope, wind picked back up around 11am  ;) which made fly fishing difficult and forced me home around 11:45 seeing as when i cast it landed about 40 feet downriver every cast LOL  >:(

Mid was about 2 feet, lower probably the same or slightly better (didn't venture there).

You left too early as there was no wind when I got to the river around 2.

Water was still in even with the rain but not sure how long it will remain so. Saw a couple of fish taken and I had one chance myself. Have come home to warm up for a bit before going back out, nice to be so close to the flow. ;D

Heavy rain this afternoon, sure miserable out there but if I caught a fish I guess it would have not felt so bad. Water visibility was down to a tad over a foot when I left to catch the Leaf game at 4.

Looks like a washout for tomorrow then. Still raining too. Should have capitalized on my last 7 changes this week as now I must wait a bit longer to improve a terrible landing record this season

Better than a fish but I hoped the river would be OK for those that can only fish the weekend. Rain falling now, so I will sleep in tomorrow.
