   Just checked the gauge at Hope,  water quite high but steadily dropping.

I ve been hearing from a few sources that the Scale Bar has been extremely productive for the BBers, like unheard of springs being pulled out for this time of the year? Was anyone actually there the last few days that can attest to this claim?

you have to go there to see it

6 inches when I looked today by Old Orchard Road but boy the bugs are getting bad with the receding waters, the hatch is on. A lot of bars are still covered but hopefully it keeps dropping quickly now. We have found over the years 6 inches of visibility hard but not impossible to take biting fish.

Of course if the are swimming by in big numbers, like people on a crowded sidewalk the odd fish will get close enought to take a swipe at your glow. Best to use a 0 size of course. Also if you can locate an area where a clear big river meets the murky Fraser and visibly improves due to the mix that helps too.

Thanks for the condition report Chris! Just wondering if anybody has had success doubling up spin n glos . I've never tried but one would think with a bead in between the two sng's it could work

Pegleg WAS bone dry back in Feb/March/April but has been totally flooded for more than a month now.  Minto Channeldid not dry up but was very low, and no flow through it at all.  If the freshet has repeated what it did last year, then the channel immediately at the end of McSween will likely be impassible until mid August.

You should be able to figure out what it's like out there by looking at the website with the water level charts.  Compare Mission and Hope for this year to the Mission and Hope readings for last year.   I.E. whatever the Mission or Hope levels were for early August last year is what they need to get down to before venturing out to Peg.  Mid August levels would be better.

FWIW

hey great shots fishforever, i'm getting an itchy trigger finger jusy looking!! won't be long now.
looks like the test sets at albion are picking up, nothing compared to other years though.

I have fished Scale once this year and some other buddies have been there quite a bit since the opening and I would say that maybe 10 fish are out of there a day, maybe more. Does not seem too productive to me unless its picked up the last few days.

I see no reason it would not work and have seen others us it. I just use a #0 silver, with a red top and mylar wings at this time of year, never bother loading up my tackle box with any others as I have had good success with them after they were started being made a few years ago. The green topped one works well too but I like the red top.

Nice to hear bar fishers taking some nice fish today and to get in on the action. The Leaf Craft being tunned tomorrow and will be launched shortly.

Let the bells toll.
