We asked for water, and we got water….but we are currently still off color. The West branch peaked at almost 2000 cfs and is now dropping at about 100 cfs an hour. We should expect decent fishing tomorrow into next week with the higher water. The water at Stilesville, above Oquaga creek, is wadable and starting to clear. The lower river should start to clear by this afternoon. In the meantime, I hope everyone is enjoying the World Cup and tying flies.
Hopefully we will clear up so I can stop posting bug pics.
