everything is blown out except for the Stave. LOL however if the lake has gotten really full now then they might have the dam open....you never know. best way to find out is to get yourself out and fish  ;)

Norrish was high but fishable yesterday.... there were like 100 cars there already yesterday too. I know the Vedder was fishable (not very nice lookin though) yesterday higher up above Allsion. Just look around, you'll be surprised at some of the rivers. The Harrison is good too.

OK I doubt 200 cars as that area could not even park 200 cars. If there were more than 20 thats brutal.

Harisson should be good, water was low and clear on Wednesday.

It was brutal, I have never seen so many cars there in my life, I drove by to take a look... the last two years have seen things on Norrish go severely downhill for quality of angling... It's a real shame!

I fished the Vedder today up above the clay slide, visibility was actually about 4 feet and green, very good considering the last few days. Anything below the slides was thick green pea soup, the slide itself was sloughing big chunks of clay. Pretty crazy that a slide like that can color up the entire river so much. Other than that there was not much else to talk about, fishing was slow.

Hi @ all
I'm new here, fishing the rivers since July. Drove me nuts to find everything out by myself...
Went out to the Stave today for the second time, normaly I fish the Vedder. Water level
was normal as excpected, raised up at late afternoon when they opened the dam.
Lot's of dead fish and rotten ones. Took a short videoclip...

Was there last week, we were the second car to arrive. From stringing up and lading our jackets there was at least 15 cars and 11 guys shoulder to shoulder at the spot just above the bridge.

I couldn't believe it. We hopped in the car and took off tout suite !!!

What a beek hole !!!
