Was thinking the same thing yesterday, that the lower hadn't cleaned up at all since I had last fished on Tuesday. Sure taking its sweet time to clean up.

I fished the lower river this morning and viz was at most 12", worse than it was on Wednesday. The river seems very stubborn in clearing up this season.

Water looked fine when I looked 2 hours ago at Lickman, of course conditions could change at any time. About 10 celius now. Wind has died down and no rain. The lawn looks like it starting to grow too. ???

Water was very clear above Sleese but still high, lower  about a foot of visibility today, not too busy some of the sports fans were busy of course but not much action on the river. Slow Slow Slow out there.

Still high? The river is under 2 meters. When do you consider it not too high?

Below, water graphs are just that getting out in the field is the best way to judge the situation.

You are assuming that I haven't been out on the river.
The difference between where the river level is now and where it was when everyone kept saying it's too low is 1 foot. So. I ask you again when do you consider the river to be at an ideal level?

I know this was directed to floater, but for me, ideal conditions was when everyone was saying the river was too low.

As is said before Below 2 meters without a doubt.
