Huzzah report

Floated the Huzzah from Harper's Slab to Highway 8 (Huzzah Valley) yesterday. Stream was surprisingly low and clear, I figured they'd had more rain than they did. Fish were out and somewhat active, especially smaller ones, but were very spooky. My 3-year old wasn't exactly Mr. Stealth either. Ended up with a couple green sunfish but no smallmouth. Stream was really almost too low for good floating. Another six inches of stream level would have went a long way.

USGS is now operating a gauge on the Huzzah at Highway 8, I guess it just went into operation. Gauge was 3.6 yesterday (no cfs available). I would think this is a very good floating level for Highway 8 down (Dry Fork Creek was really running at its entry into the Huzzah).

Recent rains have murked up the Huzzah Probaly making fishing easy in this ultra clear stream. Grew up on this stream and smallie fishing (catching) has become quite easy for me. I do reports on Huzzahvalley.com under the river conditions section check it out.

Yesterday from 3:30 to 6:00 Caught 9 fish 6 smallies 2 largemouth. All on 1/2 oz. spinnerbait. Smallies size one 20 incher two 17 inchers the rest were avg. size. The river came up 2 feet from last thurs.- sat. I fished out of my jet and probably wont bother the fish much now since the spawn will be on after the water goes down. The fish seem to be really scattered. Good fishing to all! :lol:
