Any reports of water vis near dark? I'm thinking of making the drive tomorrow and wondering what gear to bring with and have rigged up.

Thanks chris that's what I figured was going to happen. I'm going to have to find the meat stick in the garage and dig the big bright smelly bait from the deep freeze.

Tamahi started to color up around 2:30 so i headed upriver and left Borden at 4:30. The Ranger slide was puking quite badly and my guess would be zero vis for tomorrow

There is about 6" of vis, and the river has a but of a green tint.  But it's raining heavy right now.

Looking ugly to me when I just checked, hard to believe so many were wetting their lines.
