Good to hear the authorities were out.  :)
Would be nice if they showed up on weekends too, when all the weekend warriors and yahoos are out (including myself! :D)

I'd really like to be checked at least once this season. I fish rather often, yet never get checked...it's frustrating. Makes me wonder where does all that money we pay go?

Only isolated showers.  I was standing on the deep side bank looking into about 6 feet of water and could not see the bottom, and a log that was protruding from the depths disappeared about 3 feet down into a milky haze.  The colour is probably from melting snow runoff rather than rain, it just accumulates the further down you go.  It was beautiful today. I  took my 11 year old daughter out for another crack at fly fishing.   She was fishing a little backwater eddy below the CPR bridge run when an eagle swooped down and picked a whitefish out of the water right next to her line.  She says the eagle stole her fish that was just about to bite her fly.

What does the river look like today?
Any chance it will it be fly-fishable tomorrow?

Still fairly cool and not too much rain today. What time are you leaving tomorrow? If not too early I can check it for you in the AM.

I don't have to leave very early, so yes, I'd appreciate an update in the morning.
Thanks Chris.

I was thinking of hitting the road around 8:00 - to be on the river by 9:30.
