That's perfect water for my tastes.  How is the color and the D.O.?

The doors should be unlocked, might not be anyone awake if you get in late, I guess you'll just have to look around for a place to sleep.  We have the River Lodge and Cedar Gables, should be trucks/boats parked in front of both places.  

Get that gentleman’s phone number so you can text him an empty location to bed down. It would be nice if he didn’t wake up half the house looking for an empty slot.

I’ve got son in law duty tomorrow morning, but I’ll try to check out the water tomorrow

Water is crystal clear (7x tippet clear). Don't know about D O but it's usually not an issue on BS tailwater.

Also it appears the SWPA website actual flow data is screwed up again. The CFS column is not currently updating so just look at the river level to get the actual flow. Their new text notification is based on CFS changes so be aware of that.

Well it looks like SWPA fixed the CFS glitch this afternoon so the text notification should be working.

I don't get reception there.  I know some of the guys connect somehow, one of them who will be there Thursday night can volunteer to text Mreed.  OK, we need a volunteer!

I did eventually complete my tasks today and spend a little time on the water. I probably Trout fished for two hours. I got 27 to hand and had lots of other opportunities.

I caught fish on 1/33 oz, 1/16 oz, and 1/8 oz jigs. I wasn’t really thrilled with the size, but I did catch a few nice ones and l lost one really heavy fish that didn’t seem to even be upset he was hooked. Honestly, my beds guess would be that I foul hooked a large sucker. I had it on for a fairly long time and never got a look at it. 

Water was perfectly clear and not trashy at all. Water was falling out as I fished which I am told is suboptimal, but it hasn’t ever hurt too bad.

Let him try.  It's a big river.
