fished mid river today... vis was great in the morning about 2-3 feet... by afternoon it had started to color. Tomorrow should be good if not lower the upper should be fishable... might be the last day for a bit with the weather coming!

It really clouded up at the end of the day , but the graph shows a rise and then over night dropping back down so you might be okay .

We were out today with many other guys. We didn't and and saw no one else  catching anything. We heard one was caught but who knows if that was true. I don't know how its possible to have lots of fish one day and nothing the next. BTW the water is really low and clear.

I had my 10 year old daughter out flicking flies this morning.  We did not catch any fish either, although I had a couple of tugs.  We headed to the Show afterward and she did not get one there either.  They should have let her use flies.  I had her casting in the Sage casting pool and she definitely has the form down.  Took her over to the archery range and she popped the cobra right in the nose.  A regular sharp shooter.  Dropped her off at 3 and headed down to watch the Giants get shellacked by the Americans.  At least the Canucks won in Anaheim.  Quite a full day.
