I fished this morning with two clients, a grandfather-grandson team. The weather was wet and cold but that did not deter a large number of fisherman from hitting the river. The water was down a bit but is still dirty, I would not expect the showers and warm weather combinations that we have seen recently to change the water conditions very much. The average this time of year is 694 cfs and we are currently at 939 cfs of discharge.
Today we hooked and landed a 45lb male in the first hole we fished using a wiggle wart. we had him in the boat and recorded by 6:10 am. The fish had a slight tint of red and looked every bit of the 45 pounds. He was the biggest that I have boated this year. We then fished three other holes before hooking and landing a very bright 23lb male and calling it a perfect day.
