Well, since H2o is providing "on-the-spot" reports for the Duc, I best keep up with the Jones's.

Skagit was low and slow last night...emerald green and 5+' of vis. below the Sauk and Baker.

Everything changed overnight. Flow this morning peaked at about 16,000 CFS at 8 am. (was 6700 last night), and is down to 12,500 as of 8:15 tonight. Level last night at 6 pm. was about 15.25...peaked at near 18.5 today and is now back to a bit over 17.

LOTS of color now, sadly. Visibility at the Dalles bridge is about a foot, but is much better above the Sauk (I am guessing 2-3').

River is set to give a great days fishing tomorrow, especially above the Sauk. Lower river is a brown/green, low visibility. I did not see any fish rolling tonight, but if the river continues to settle overnight it could be a great mornings fishing.

Fished Rockport this late am, and got -0-. Heard of one fish caught...saw a couple roll at the HMSP.

If the rain holds off for a couple days we can expect some HOT fishing early in the week.

In my most humble opinion, of course..
