Did anyone fish the river today and could comment on the water conditions?
Thank you in advance

The upper was fishable yesterday morning with 1ft-3ft of visability depending on location.  Never made it to the lower as I was called away.

Just had a look and it is very high, very muddy, very unfishable for most, very mild meaning a very high freezing level hence a very lot of snow melting. :P

Also a very high possibilty some of the clay banks have been opened up again which will be bad news if so. :-\

Wow....I'm happy I left when I did. It was definitely lower but I kept my eyes peeled for the water levels by looking at the shoreline and moving up and down the banks.

I fished this morning for a few hours. Nothing to show for it not even a nibble. Clarity was around 1ft around first light. I had to move my bag and rod 3 times because of the rising water. My stuff started to float away LOL!

Power still out at my house.
Water is at 3.5m and rising still!!!

Water will still be high on friday. Safe to say season is over for most of the rivers.

Most means not all, right?

I want to believe the late start means a late end.

I want to believe...;)

Yesterday's peak was the highest I remember on the Hydrometric Data charts.
I am sure there will be some sort of negative impact on the eggs already laid in the redds. Hopefully it is not as bad as I imagine it could be (forum experts - Dave and alles - please chime in).

I find it curious that people are worried about this high water meaning the end of the coho/chum season, when in fact what we should be really worrying about is what the returns will be like two, three and four years down the road.

Yep. I am curious about the eggs too. A conclusion that there will be fewer surviving eggs may seem obvious but I wonder if it's true.

As far as the season end worries, I'd say don't worry... It's over 8)
