Post by: Rodney on April 16, 2005, 12:32:57 PM

Chrome Mykiss just phoned and said Vedder River's visibility is down to 1 foot or less. Water, brown. Hope this saves some of you a trip this afternoon.

If I get near the river I will give you a update. I just noticed the snow line is at the top of Vedder Mountain.

Just checked it at the Freeway Bridge and it is mud, mud and more mud.

I would advise to stay at home as I am sure it will not be fishable tomorrow. The rain has stopped and the sun is out but I hear showers are still in the forecast. I see by the river gauge it jumped close to a foot over night but is on the way down now.

Re my fishing reports

 I have had so many meetings and other commitments of late I put fishing aside for a while so will be ready in May for bar fishing for chinooks and some lake fishing.

Also battled two rounds with the flu and cold bug that did not help.
