Fishing Report: 

Right now it's up and it's dirty, but still fishable, with who knows maybe some more mud on the way from the rains, but the good news has been that before the deluge of moisture we were hit with, this was starting to pick up and fish were eating hoppers and streamers well. That means that when the weather settles in one way or the other and this begins to drop instead of rise, it's going to be ridiculously good. I would imagine that by the weekend the Jefferson will be in great shape and the fishing will be good. As we get further into September the hopper fihsing will probably taper off and streamer fishing and nymphing will get better, until then though, when it warms, they'll eat some rubber and foam don't you worry...
