Not always, it depends which of the 3 main slides is coloring up the water.If it's selesse then the whole thing is dirty.

Everything was good above the pipes today. Came down and fished the lower at 330 just to have a look. Maybe a foot at sundown. If I was a gambling man I'd bet the lower comes into shape for tomorrow.

Not sure how the morning was but I was annoyed to find that despite the steady drop in temp as well as the Hydrograph, the water was still pretty sh*tty this afternoon. The pipes were just puking.  Two to three cars at every pullout above the slides ::) Not that I don't mind fishing in 12"-18" of vis but early season like this its nice to have a little more vis for covering water. Really hope that this year we are not dealing with poor stability on some of these slides. I guess imo the water should be in much better shape for the temp. Good luck out there for the weekend.

Conditions in the lower were OK I thought, I guess the clay filters out some as you get further away from the slides.

 After not hooking a fish for over 3 weeks I finally found one but after 4 minutes of playing the steelhead the fish shook the hook out as I was getting it into a landing position, I thought, but not sure it was sans an adipose. Oh well, better to hook one than not as one starts to doubt ones self after going fishless for a few trips.

At least got a taste of fish today as Lew, Nick and I went our for lunch, fish and chips for me. ;D ;D

It was freaking freezing and lines will not come out.

I hooked into a beauty way out in the deep( lower end ) and after about 5 minutes of battle, she came unbuttoned!!!!

Sigh :o :o :o :o :o :o
