Fishing Report:

Clarity Report Update: As you might expect with the amount of rain we've been getting there have been multiple plugs of mud coming down the river, and the clarity situation is going to be day by day and stretch by stretch, so call before heading over, or make plans to fish something else instead! Tuesday morning it had 3 feet of visibility, so who knows where the plug of mud is.

After talking to guys on the river, fishing was a little slow after the spike of mud coming down, although the clarity remains fishable, who knows what happens to the fishing. It might be Thursday or Friday before it really clears depending on the weather, then again it might have visibility to fish on Tuesday and Wednesday, who knows. After the rains clear up and it warms up again it will be the hopper bite on the shelves and along the banks, should be good again, I doubt that it's over for the summer... While you are waiting for the clarity to improve, think about hucking big ugly meaty streamer patterns in this cool wet and rainy weather, also think about throwing them somewhere other than the banks, just a thought. Afternoons will be better than the mornings, when the sun comes back out and it warms again look for the hoppers to be out and about, they aren't dead yet.
