Ugh... can you pull some strings and get the rain to hold off?  Milo and I haven't gone fishing together in years!  We're due!  lol

Milo, just checked at Lickman and the river is plenty fishable at his time but it has rained overnight and is raining again so hopefully it will hold for you by the time you arrive.

Nah, I think I'll go back to bed.
The rain is coming down pretty hard; the water gauge shows river is on the rise...not worth it.  :'(

Thanks Chris and Dave.

River was gross at my 8:00 am run. I wouldn't fish it with a fly in these conditions anyways....

Hey all,

Any chance we'll have a bit more time until the rivers gone for a while?  It's been warming up but not sure if we're "there" yet.

Tough call as there is lot's of snow waiting to come down.  Fairly cool as I type; when Sidthedog and I were out around noon at the Lickman area, I thought the vis was about 10" ; I 'm hoping for a fishable day tomorrow, targetting char.  Sadly, it could be over fast if we have more rain or warm weather.
Go Canucks ;D

Water was fine :), at least until I left around 11.  One hookup and quick fall off of something about 16" was all I could find.

Milo nailed it ;) This river could get real ugly if it stays warm and worse, if it continues to rain.  There is a lot of snow in the hills.
