Poked around out there today a little bit towards Silvana but didn't see much. I started past the Willow and Jims Caffe across the railroad tracks, there is a stretch of river there bordered by a trailer park some friends of mine own a plot of land there so I was able to fish a small pool, but saw no fish rising and no takedowns.

Moved up to the bridge across the street from the bar and fished there. There were a few other anglers out (Actualy anglers, not snaggers to boot) but I saw no fish hooked (1 rainbow trout about 6" or so). I did see quite a few fish rising on the opposite side of the river (the deep side) but no bites, the water is really high right now; the river is almost twice as wide as it was this time last year. For anyone who hasn't fished the bridge area in silvana it does have a nice pool where fish stack up and is definately a fishable stretch of the stilly, but when the fish start to show up so do the people and SO DO THE SNAGGERS, tons of them. Last year for the humpy season it was packed up tight and I saw only a handful of legally hooked fish horrible snaggin'.

just thought you all would appreciate a report. In short, the fish are coming, but its definately not time yet.
