The dam is getting some work done, and that's accounted for some of the up and down flows the past couple weeks. The most recent spike is from this past weekend's rain, but the levels are back down and the water is clear. We're glad to see the water up a bit as we approach the spawn. We haven't seen any spawning fish yet, but be on the alert, we should start seeing some spawning activity any day now. We encourage folks to ease off the river a bit once spawning starts. Allowing the fish to spawn in peace increases the potential for good numbers of fish in the river down the road. Also, when wading in the river this time of year, you run the risk of walking over and destroying spawning beds with unhatched eggs on them.
