Some folks have asked how the river is this year and it has been a bit different. One would think the river stays somewhat the same but it doesn't, not at all. Some years it can actually stink mid summer and other years not so much. This spring the river has been happy which may sound a bit weird but is pretty much right on. Birds have been hanging out in much larger numbers than usual. From eagles to ducks and geese just a lot of them. Bears, otter, racoons, just everybody are down right fat already so whatever is going on wildlife are just a bunch of happy guys.

Fish no idea! Sturgeon are not showing well but the eagles and other preparator birds have been kicking the crap out of something that is 5 to 6 inches moving up and down the river. Seeing some large fish jumping off and on nothing to right home about.

So this year so far the river and wild life have been not just happy but in a pig out mode. Water quality must be rather good because geese and ducks love to take baths on the island gravel bar when the water is clean and fresh which they have been doing daily.

So again the river is happy this year but we wait to see just how this translates for fish.
