Same old. The rivers are back to the merky stage. There will be variability. The Root seems to be the hardest hit. The Whitewater will be more variable with only a foot of clarity at the edges on the major branches. Trout run in the park should be ok today but more rain is forcasted […]

The rivers are fine. Now where were we? We haven’t made a cast yet. Look at the water! Let me say that again. LOOK AT THE WATER! Observe it’s features. Look in the water! Pick out the seam lines, look for the rocks and obstructions beneath the water. Find the drops and darker spots, this […]
