Chris have you seen it lately? thinking on skipping some work in the rain to fish in the rain? The graph tells me it is blown vis wise but this year the river has seemed to hold up better. Thanks

It was OK when I left an hour ago but still coming up I think but then the tide was coming in. I saw some coho caught including Rodney with one on a blade, he said he lost one more before I got there.
I will again take a boo later.
I fished 45 minutes out of Leaf Craft#4  and did not get a bite, was wet and miserable  ??? so came home for breakfast and get some ducks ready for supper. ;D ;D

Still fishable in the Lower, 1 to 2 feet vis. but before you rush out there it could change at any moment as on the rise.

Also note the canal bars are getting covered so watch if you wade out to a bump in the sand as it may be tough getting back.

Raining again, why do people ask for rain as all it does is push the fish through quickly to the hatchery. :(

Thumbs down to who did the rain dance. ;D ;D

Well slightly kicking myself for not heading out first light...but glad to avoid any wash out. Might have to look elsewhere tomorrow and Thursday

Me too, on the other location. ;D

Will try to give an update on river at dark. Of course we are in the season when it can change quickly, clay bank issue again this season?

Checked it dark in the Lower, I would say visibility is around 14 inches. Lots of fish moving through, close in. Fished 30 minutes but nothing. Water looked like it was dropping a tad.

The Canal will be difficult to fish now if you wade out.

Raining hard now, just had a look in the canal area, looks like some visibility but hard to say how much even by shinning a torch in it, I found a few floats though where I checked.  ;D ;D I will take the rod and have a look in the light. Will report back later but it will be a while has hope to hook many fish. :-\

Maybe The Carp will give you a report sooner than I can. ;D ;D
