Trout season is open today so time to fish for some steelhead.  No wait.  Oh yeah, there is no closed season!

 

Thanks to rain through the weekend all the tributary flows are high and dirty.  Flows in the Oak are high consisting of lots of turbine water and some overflow water.  Water color is one foot or less of visibility.  There are some anglers on the water today with unknown success.  The other area small tributaries are high and dirty.  Through Sunday night there was 2 - 4 inches of wet snow, and 6 inches along the lakeshore.  That is melting now and will add to the most recent runoff.  Forecast is for warmer temps thru the rest of the week but no unseasonable warm up so no major water temp spikes expected for now.
