Today's river report from freds website

 A ton of rain over the last few days has kept the river dirty with lots of volume. It has dropped over night and its realistic to say we have 3"-6" visibility which should improve over the coming days if rain hold off.

Nice shape in my mind when I was out this morning. Saw a nice wild buck taken and was sorry I did not get to it in time to tube it for the brood stock program. I had no sucess but heard of a few others taken including another lost in the area I was in.

Roughly speaking, upper or lower river?

Good vis throughout the river. Surprising amount of people out for a weekday. Even with all the rain and boost in levels it didn't seem like there were more fish caught compared to any other day this year. Guy told me he landed a wild but he was also using 10+ feet from float to weight in water that wasn't more than 5 feet deep  :-\
