Was surprised it was a clean as it was after the heavy rain. I would be out there if it wasn't for a dentist appointment. :'(

Rod, I know your eyes are younger than mine but .... 18"??   I looked about 9 am at the bridge and my guess was half that.

I hereby officially present you the unofficial Chilliwack River visibility formula:

X = C : 2

Where "X" is Chilliwack River visibility, and "C" is Chris's personal estimate.  :D

For Example:  X = 18" / 2 . Therefore, X=9"

Trust me, it works! :)

Visibility around 1 foot in the lower, just fine for fishing. The strong easterly wind was not so pleasant.

  Thx Rodney. Planning to make a trip out there tomorrow with searun. Chris I have a couple of the cork floats for you so hopefully we will run into each other, but if we miss each other I might leave them at Freds for you.

During the morning, from Allison down to lower it was 1.5 to 2.5 ft depending on where you were, definitely nice for fishing if you prefer a little color.
