Water is ok, they just didn't want people in the way of the crews doing clean up, water is muddy ?

The hatchery stocked, but this morning the park decided not to let fisherman fish, supposed to let fisherman start fishing tomorrow, sorry about the misinformation, I should have called again later this morning.

The hatchery stocked 300 trout last night

Only the camping was closed

It's open today

Creek looks great, not much rise at all

Just a laundry bag, some people make bags.

It will be better, but not real clear, it's dropping every day.

It's not bad right now, but still strong flow and still dirty

Fished good, fished an hour, caught 3, we got some rain, but not that much, it takes a lot of rain to screw up crane creek.

Just there, this afternoon, it's in good shape at the moment

We are catching trout on # 10 & #12 black foam beetles right now, I enjoy throwing them, but when they will hit a hopper I enjoy that more. Big flying fur ants work well all summer

Looked good this morning

Great pics, I enjoyed the South Island, few people, and lots of water.

Hoppers will probably take trout right now, I caught a few on a #10 stimulator a few days ago. Beetles and ants have been working well also.

YES

Still murky, good level, fishing well with buggers, mega worms, San Juan worms, Y2K bugs, seeing more caddis, and blue wing olives everyday.

I fished Springfield lake this morning, 2 small smallmouth , a couple of 10" LM's, and a few bluegill, caught most of them on a chartruse/white Clouser #6. Fished above the 65 bridge

No, I don't think so, it's up a few feet, and it was up maybe 5 feet Thursday, it's looking pretty good right now. Still got a good flow, and is still murky.

It is starting to drop, it will be better by tonight.

Roaring River is bank full, hasn't really flooded yet, but it is about as full as it can get Before it floods. Going to be a good day for plastics, and spoons, and 1/8 oz jigs.
