I'm working this weekend but had just enough time to shoot over for a couple hours this evening .
Thw water is very high , in fact you couldn't see the small dam for the coffer (under water ).
The slow side was anything but slow , one of the large spillway gates was wide open . The water is slightly stained like a cup of weak tea .
The fishing , that was unreal !
Not one steelhead cought under 10 pounds , most were a week or two into the river , some were fresh .
All were hitting very light on the bite .
The color , I'm keeping that a secret [
] .
Now what was really a treat was the walleye I was catching and putting back , man if the season was only open !
5 to 8 pounders at least ! I gave up counting the fish after an hour or so , all on my home tied flys !
I'm heading back wendsday for shure , darn cold over at the dam , lots of snow blowing and that bald eagle soaring around the river till dusk !
