Notes

Epic conditions!... in 13 years of trips during all times of the year, we have never had such a perfect day, (despite the chaos at the put-in with 14 other boats). Water level high & clear, (2,200 cfs), excellent for Late September. No wind, a few picture perfect clouds against an azure sky, lot's of bugs and rising fish. It really doesn't get any better when you don't have to throw a nymph or streamer rig.
