Wade fishermen, just stay home. There is no place for you to fish safely at current water levels.
Even if you have a boat you should stay off the rivers until flow rates subside. An accident at current water levels can turn into a tragedy. I have a friend who had his driftboat run up on a submerged log. The stern became submerged in heavy water and in an instant he found himself underneath a flipped over boat, in the middle of the river. Lost both his fishing equipment and oars and considered himself very lucky to get out alive.
The weather forecast for the coming week looks much better and while it will take some time to get back to safe fishing conditions the increased flows of cold water will be good for the trout throughout the river system.
Great Advice!!!!
