I am sure it will be fine but it could change if we get heavy rain tonight.

It was excellent when I left the lower river about 6PM. Had a nice day out with a 10 lb wild doe on a spinner.

Water was perfect today, didn't start until 2 tho. Rolled one on roe/shrimp, but it came off after it turned. Saw 3 more taken, heard of another 5.

Visibility is good enough. At least 4 ft in lower with a bit of colour due to rain on and off.  But it started to rain hard in later afternoon when I left at 4PM. I had a good day. Nothing much in the morning as I focused on pocket water in the rapids. But heard of good action in a particular lower run in the morning. So in the afternoon I went up a run above the hot run. Fished in the tail out of that run for an hour but nothing. Then sat down and rested 20 minutes. Started casting again and Wham. Float dipped at the water I combed for an hour before. So the fish finally arrived from the hot run below. Landed a nice 12 lbs totally chrome hatchery doe. Hope the river will hold its shape for you guys tomorrow. Tight line.

Lower river water condition is excellent. I landed a wild early this morning and had my addiction so came home at 9.00am

The water level on the graph shot straight up today. Was there any rain in chilliwack today? or did the warm weather start to bring some melt?

Lost my cover for my centerpin by lickman on friday last week. Thought it probably fell in the water and floated away.
It is green.
