About 8 inches now, surprised to see so many out there.

Meatheads never rest.   ;)

So I took the chance and decided to go this morning. I called Fred's and the guy said that he has not seen the river but he thought it should be fishable.

Got down to the lower river and it was like Timmy's double double.






I spoke to a few guys and they had just came down from the top with the same conditions.

Fished for 30 minutes and decided to leave. Somehow I ended up in the USA, Lynden. I have never been there so grabbed some milk, eggs, butter and cheese and yes, got gas too!!!

River condition was excellent today, visibility was at around 2ft. It should remain this way tomorrow.

Anyone go out today I was planning on heading to the river around noon, but its wet snow/raining here fairly constant in Abby. If it stops I'll probably head out.

What a miserable day out there cold, wet snow and then rain. Steelheaders like me must be crazy to be out there on a day like today. ??? ::) ;D

Did get warmed up some following a steelhead down stream for a bit. Broke the 2 fish losing streak beaching a 10 to 11 pound wild buck after a good tussle. River was holding when I left, may go out for the evening flight. ???
