Have a Smith River permit for Saturday, but flows are way down, water temps way up and nobody catching anything the past two weeks per ranger at Camp Baker.  So switching gears - shorter 3-4 day trip down the Blackfoot.

Glad to hear you had a good time.  River was running 265-270 cfs when you dumped in - still decent water for cats and rafts.  This morning it's at 222; below the bare minimum of 225 for cats/rafts - a lot of dragging until one gets down to Tenderfoot.  Not interested in dragging my cat, so will just try again next year.  I wonder why ranger was telling me no one catching fish and hoot owl hours are about to go into affect.

With great snow pack everywhere in the state I can't believe how low all the creeks/rivers are already.  Highwood creek is almost unfishable and Belt creek is low.  I thought it was going to be a great year on the creeks and rivers.  I've never done the Smith but I'm sorry for those that went through the process to get the permit, then can't use it!

Got blown off Tiber, I fished Friday, then they got the tournament in Saturday morning and that was about it, wind came up big time.  We came home, I'm not one to sit in camp and watch the wind blow.........LOL

Tournament at Tiber this weekend.........we decided not to participate this year.  We will be at Francis this week.  Been a few weeks since we've been there and I haven't heard any reports so hoping we can find them.....

[robbi]

Going back to Francis for more abuse?  or will they be turned on this week.......LOL

Driving to Oregon with a 4 and 6 year old to fish the salt water with my 79 year old dad.  Who's looking for abuse?!?

Thinking about staying overnight at Beartooth Landing this weekend, depends on the nephew.

[robbi]

That's at Holter Lake right?  upstream a bit?  Love camping up in there..........

[The Rezerend]

Ya we usually put in at the Gates then run down to the campground. Pretty nice little camp spot. Decent fishing close.

Staying around home this weekend.  Lot's going on, getting ready for visitors this coming week, just bought a motor home to help make our weekend excursions a little more comfortable.  Might hit Belt Creek on Saturday evening for something different, not sure how low it is.
