Same here LT. The color flowing out of Diablo won't allow for anymore than two feet for some time, well let me take that back, the only way it could get better is if the Cascade, Bacon, Swift and all the other feeder streams flow crystal clear, and dilute the mud flowing from the lakes. The visibility in the lakes is a foot and a half. Just shooting from the hip here but it looks like it will probably take at least a month for the water in the lakes to clear up to the four to six foot range. At least it flows a nice green color even when it's cloudy!

Mike - The drift boat was owned by John Falavalito - I'm sure many know him. He wasn't a licensed guide but he did fish at least three days out of a week during season. As for Fish MoJo - I'm certain it's not in the paint but the hands of the fisherman, besides EVERY fish that touched Johns boats met the priest. Things have changed a bit over the past few years and the chances of the runs surviving will improve since you now own the boat. That's not to say you won't catch fish but that the rules will likely be adhered to. When's she going to be ready for launch and the inagral cruise?
