Rain! Finally! That being said, if you look at the graph below, it seems like someone fell asleep whilst drawing it, and the pen slipped from their hand and went directly up. The good news is it only went to about 1,500 cfs, and the river while off color isn’t completely blown out. Windy conditions are expected today, but the streamer fishing should be fantastic! The river is already crested and dropping, and as it clears, the dry fly fishing should pick up again, likely in the next day or two.
