Water Conditions?

[DoveTail]

Has anyone been on the river in the last day or so? Wondering how it looks after the rains earlier this week? It was up last week and stained, I am guessing some muddy water still?

Dove .... Trying to make it down Saturday. Looking at the BSSP stream flow gauge, I imagine the river is still up. PC

PC,

Can you post the link for BSSP flow, I tried from www.nws.noaa.gov but can find any details on the smaller streams / rivers.

Thanks.

Fished Barclay today - amazing how much the channel structure can change after these big rains. It's still pretty stained there, with a lot of water flowing... tough to wade it when you can't see the bottom. Just took out the spinning rod, but managed a couple of 15" rainbows. It ought to be a lot more fishable in a few days.

I tried up at the Bennet Springs access area downstream of Hwy 64. Water is up and stained but should be good enough to throw some big flies. I tried to wade some areas but it was getting up into my fly vest and it was cold so I didn't want to get that wet. Did not have any luck today. Did not see any people fishing. I did see quite a few bait fishing on Saturday so that area may be cleaned out until the next stocking?
