I got to the river around 9am and fished one area with FISHINROB. We didn’t see or feel anything so we moved upriver. Fished just above where I did the last two times I was there. Rob brought in a trout that he released. It had someone else’s corky and hook and line. Then I saw down to my right a bit, the head of a fish rise out of the water. I did get to see it later…a moldy looking silver. The guy below us caught one. He hooked several. Then we started to see V’s coming up river. That was about 11. I may have hooked one because as I pulled up (I was drifting) I saw the mouth of a fish come out of the water and my hook came out of the water and tangled with Rob’s bobber. He untangled us and we fished a little longer and then I lost my gear and it was time for me to go. I think the visibility might have been about 2 inches. I used eggs and bobber, bobber and jig, just a jig, spinners, and drifted corky and yarn, many different colors. Seeing those V’s in the river was exciting.

Thanks for the nice report Toni. It sounds like the river is starting to clear up a little. What are V's? I just saw Fishinrob's report and sounds like some people are catching alot of fish. We might have to go over there again. Would you say the flow level is down now? Thanks,

There were maybe 4 or 5 vehicles at the gate before Rob and I got there. Maybe a total of 20, if that, at all the spots on the road. So, it wasn't like a week end. I have no idea why we saw the fish (evidence by the V's on the water against the flow). Was it the sprinkles that came from the sky? I think the depth might have been around 6 foot. The guy catching the fish below us even caught a small one that looked like a spawning kokane. It was small.
