Wow. Rain. Who would have guessed a weekend was coming and the river would get rain and double in flow? Well, I should have considering that’s how most weekends went this year! Sheesh! Anyway, the river did jump up to 3,000 cfs overnight, but it is quickly dropping. The color was already off from the reservoir likely ‘turning’ but the rain did not further add to it. Looks like another great streamer day! Dave and Bruce had a fantastic day out yesterday, landing several serious piggies. Since it’s David’s birthday today, I might just let him take the day off and go out to try again, since these browns are definitely hungry and ready for the spawn!
