    Pool 16 has risen over 2 ft, in the last 2 days. The flow is at just over 80,000 cfs. Lots of debris starting to flow.You be the judge.

    I was in pool 14 Wed. evening , we did pretty good . We had eight nice eyes. The eddy we were fishing was shrinking as we fished, the flow was picking up that fast. There was a ton of ice coming down. The water has risen a couple feet since and the clarity is poor. This usually means a pretty tough bite with the water still in the low thirties. I might try and get out Sunday evening to look for some shallow water action . You can’t catch them out of your easy chair. This time of year that next cast might be a “hawg”.
