Put the canoe in with minnmofishbro at about 8:30 AM with partly cloudy skies. Started out fishing a copper tube hitting structure on the bank all the way to the hwy 14 bridge with 0 luck. Not even a bite. Time to think different. I knew the fish were there somewhere but as learned from Ryan Walker, water was falling and I do believe that makes the fish act weird. I switched to a pb&j double tail grub and started working the edges of rapids and the back flows below riffles. They were in the moving water and you had to fish fast for some reason to get a hit. Didn't catch anything huge but we had a nice day. Found a few chunk rock spots that were holding a lot a goggle eye. Caught tons of those towards the end of the float. I love catching those dudes. The way they fight is very unique. Big fish of the day pic included. All fish were returned to be caught another day. Free. The. Fighter.

That's a pretty good fish is the water clearing up well.

The water was running just under 900 cfs on our float. Water was a but murky but not too bad. By the end of Saturday after all the rains the river crested around 9000 cfs. As of now it's 2910 and falling so I'm sure it's pretty muddy now but I haven't seen the river since. Should be good in a few days.
