| Yesterday we experienced sun, sun & more sun, making for a pleasant & relaxing day on the river. For today the river level still remains in the middle of our "low" range, just slightly below average for this time of year and not a bad level at all for late July. The wonderful rains of this past couple of weeks have helped the river level out greatly from the very low levels at the beginning of the month. The river water temperature has risen back into the mid 80's, about as warm as we ever see it. Fishing has been only fair at best although some days can be very active. I would say fishing is definitely off from the fine fishing we had last year. Most fish are small, but the action can be decent on good days. Water clarity is excellent, just beautiful in fact, although there is more algae present than in years past. We have plenty of canoes, kayaks, rafts, and tubes available for today and for this coming weekend, so if you get a sudden urge to get on the river, come on down. It's the place to be on a hot summer day. Remember to stay hydrated and slather on plenty of sunscreen, and guys, please, use protection (foot protection that is). We have been seeing way to many lacerated feet lately. See you on the river. | |||||||||||
