Don't know what happened there- I didn't set it so I couldn't get e-mails. I changed it- hopefully it works now.

Obviously I am a idiot when it comes to the computer--- I can't get it to work------- this week water is up and it has slowed.

I was just there on the 24th, and the fishing was alright. It was a little slower than normal, but none the less still an awsome trip as always. If I am not mistaken, I read in the paper that they recently increased the flow to 12,600CFS from around 11,000 (where it was at on Sunday 21st). I think that this contributed to the slower than normal fishing. We floated from Swan Valley (I think is the name) down to Heise, and the float took us just under 12hrs. We took our time and stopped a few times, but the river was crusing! Normally we stop at a few chosen spots to fish the riffels, but the river was way to high for that. There were very few riffels to fish. Anyway, most of the day I fished parachute hoppers and Cheyrnoble (sp?) Ants. The hopper pattern worked the best. I caught a couple on a size 18 PMD, and towards the end of the day, there was a pretty decent Caddis hatch coming off. As I mentioned earlier, the fishing was not red hot, but there were definately some good fish to be had. I don't know about you, but even if the fishing sucks, the whole experience of floating that incredible river is worth the time and effort it takes to do it. I hope that helps, and hope even more that you have a great trip. Good luck, and please post how you do.
