I am well aware of that. I was wondering why a water update would be needed when it clearly hasn't rained at all lately. Therefore the river would be clear and judging by the graph very low...

Want helpful? The headwaters of the Chilliwack system are in Washington State, not "up country"  :o ::) ::) ::)

True, but "up country" also means "inland" or remote from the sea coast, so the headwaters of a coastal stream like the Chilliwack can be considered  "upcountry" as it is in the cascade range beyond the coast mountains.  More importantly, those "washouts" would have to be pretty significant as they would have to colour up the entire lake to affect the lower Chilliwack.  More likely upcountry was meant to mean upstream.

In desperate need of rain, fish seem too be stale and not willing to bite anything

I'm just interested in seeing my float go down, I don't really care if a boot-dark fish is on the other end (C&Ring anyway).  Tried upper river past borden creek last Thurs and only got one takedown.  Anyone got any suggestions?
