[HOOK]

thought you said you were going to be tossing the fly rod come April/May YG? i could use my CP setup to if i didnt wanna challenge myself like im doing with the flyrod. 

[younggun]

i use the spey when i fish with friends who have a spey rod to share. I'm still in gear mode. there are a few more rods and reels that i'm wanting, then  . . ..  maybe i'll swap.

anyways, i'm going sunday, so has anyone seen the river today at last light?

[dennyman]

Hey Young gun that should be 100 grains of T 14. If it was 1000, Hook would have a concussion, if he hit himself in the back of the head with his spey line.

anybody have a report on water conditions today?? looking to head out friday & probably saturday

If you haven't already then you might want to take a look at the graph , doesn't look good .

[HOOK]

the graph just shows water height. its doesnt tell me if the water has gone brown or not  thats what i would like to know because it is possible for the water to rise and not colour.

[Every Day]

HOOK with the stability of the clay banks of late... if you see a rise, I would be assuming it is brown or white with clay.
Might venture out that way later to see for sure, but I would go with a blow out right now.

ED i havent looked this year but heard the slide at Ranger wasnt in the river anymore, any truth to that? wondering because that would mean that above Allison should stay cleaner then below with water rising.

[Every Day]

HOOK.
The Ranger run slide is still in the river.
The river now splits 2 ways just above the slide, I would say a 60-40 split, the 60 being the water flowing into the slide.
Yes I have found that mostly (this year) after a jump on the graph the upper is fishable the day after, with the lower fishable 2 days after.
The last 4 or 5 days there has been a jump everyday so I would assume the river has not had the chance to settle down at all.

[hue-nut]

a jump like that and you can pretty much count on the river being blown

[Robert_G]

Still pretty dirty today. The cool weather has helped a bit, but not enough.

[yoda]

was out yesterday in the lower to check it out. water was up with less tha 6in. of visibility.

[HOOK]

buddy of mine was out today (evening) said vis was around 18" at Lickman and he hooked and lost one on the single hander fly fishing.

Man, your so lucky to live that close to the vedder...take advantage of it.
You must know it well...

Wish I could get out there and fish more than once or twice a year.

You should get your guide license or at least take folks out for an under the table fee

All the best,

Steve

Funny thing, people have been telling me to do that alot lately 
I live on the river 300 days a year since I also live only 10 mins (walking) from Peach.
Problem with guiding is you are under alot of pressure to get people into fish, and it becomes more work than fishing and takes the fun away.
I took a handful of people out this year for free (a couple from the US) and felt pressured to get them into something every time, thankfully we did.

River has come down a fair bit the last few days and the temp is staying (relatively) low compatred to when it was rising.
Ill run out and take a look now... should have a report in 10 or so mins
