Fish Report for 2-17-2016

In Good Shape

2-17-2016
Kenny Priest

The river is in good shape, though the upper sections are starting to clear. Most of the action this week has been on the lower end where boats are getting one to four fish per trip. There are quite a few downers around as well as a handful of fresh fish. It’s predicted to blow out on Thursday, but the top end could be fishable by late next week.
