    Fished during the day in my mini-drifter. Pretty much by myself until the evening shift started putting in about 4 om. It wasn’t on fire but I did well with the Firecracker and Ronald McDonald. 30 ft of LC13 was the key!

    Slowest day of this run for me. It was so slow that I didn’t even get into to double digits. Everyone I talked to (anglers and boats) had a rough day. Lots of anglers this evening so I was boxed in and couldn’t move to find them. The only ones that did fairly well were gear guys ysing flies that I tied. Tomorrow is another day and things could be different. You dont know if you don’t

    Fished during the day before the flow when up to 11K. Did better than yesterday and got into double digits with the Firecracker and Maria. It’s going to be challenging to fish tomorrow with the river up over a foot and moving fast. I’m going to wear my pdf!

    Fished this morning and got into double digits mostly with the Firecracker. Wading was tough and there were only a few places that you can fly fish. Only a handful of anglers and not much catching by most. Wading is going to be even tougher because the flow is going to 12,000 starting 5 pm today!

    Flows actually went to 13K cfs and the river rose almost a foot. Wading is almost impossible. Got some but the gear guys were getting them using flies in the end. Be careful because it’s dangerous wading!

    I’ve been fishing shad on the American for almost 35 years, and I don’t recall ever seeing it at 13K this time of year (except when the gate broke). Surface action was getting good this weekend, first dry fly shad of the year - this won’t help.

    I guess we got a ton of snow up in the mountains this year.

    The last survey from this past weekend stated we are at 202% of normal. Mammoth ski resorts are staying open til August. Yeah, there is a bit of snow still up there.
    So long and thanks for all the fish!!!
