Dead water

[blacktop]

Likely there will be no fishing below North Fork this year as lowland snow melt from Challis Lemhi Pahsimeroi Valley to North Fork is raising the water and with temperatures in the mid to upper 50's for the next ten days, fish will be out of the lower river before it clears. Same scenario only amplified as the spring of 2003. Could change but it is doubtfull. Poetic justice as all roads leading from my place are washed out for a couple days due to lowland snowmelt exactly the same situation that is muddying the Salmon.
