River is running high and is looking ugly. This may take a few days

Was the 6-12" visibility at lower river, mid river (rapids), or lower (below Crossing Bridge)? Looks like my first trip planned tomorrow will be toasted.

I don’t often post Vedder-Chilliwack water conditions but making an exception now because I’m interested in what may, or may not happen, fish wise, in the next few days.   The early run catch of hatchery fish thus far appears very poor; that, or anglers are not reporting their catches :)   The possibility of poor hatchery returns this year has been discussed here on this forum in the past.
Water conditions over the next few days will be optimal for catching whatever is present in this system.  The recent higher and more turbid water conditions are subsiding and I predict the water tomorrow will be ideal; early this afternoon in the Lickman Road area the water was very fishable and several anglers were working it.
I will not be angling but I sure want to know what’s out there.

Been out 5 times already this year with just a few trout to show for it (not the ocean going kind) ;) seems to be a very slow start to the season what do you guys think?

Fishing has been very slow. Fished lots of prime water with very good bait. Nothing but Dolly's to show so far. Typically would have at least got my first by now. Really seems like u need to win the lotto to hook up.

Seen a lot of bulls so far, more than I've seen in the last 6 years. Hopefully it gets better as the season goes on.

Seems if your looking to catch a fish this year, you might as well head down to your lickman and brown road holes.
