More heavy rain last night, bringing the rivers up and adding a lot of color. Looking at the graph, the West Branch has peaked and has begun to fall. Hopefully any additional storms will miss us and we will drop back to fishable levels over the next couple of days. That being said, guide Steve Shen caught a nice brown yesterday on a white “secret” streamer:
