Rain and water is good for the river. I just wish we could have some normal rainfall that does both the ground and rivers good. # inches of rain in a short time upriver wreaks havoc on small tributaries and the bigger rivers. Flash flooding, people needing to be rescued, and just about everything not nailed down makes its way into the river.
I like the 74 degree water temps. The flow is about 25,000. There's alot of debris and the color is muddy to Yoo-Hoo. Don't think I'd be looking here for a meal if I was a rock-fish.
