WATER TEMP AND CLARITY
Water temps have been in the low to mid fifties and the river is very clear.

We did not see the sun much this week and we had several days of light intermittent rain. The river came up a few inches at the beginning of the week and then slowly dropped and it is now back to its lowest level of the season.

We had some fun with skating dries for Dolly Varden this week and the bows were hot on the mouse patterns.
