Spent the day on the East Carson yesterday, I arrived to find the water off color with about a foot of visibility. I hadn't been yet this season, but I did notice the muddy bottom from the slides over the past few years persisted despite normal(ish) spring flows that I had hoped would have flushed out the river.
Not sure if there was rain somewhere Saturday night that caused the river to muddy or if it has been running off color all this summer. Accessed from the airport and Hangman's, ended up doing more hiking than fishing. I have a feeling its going to take a few years for that river to come back to what it was 5-6 years ago.
