Get Into Fish

After a long, long wait for the Wilson to get in shape, the time has finally come.  Right now the Wilson River is running at 5.1 and holding.  The graph predicts a slight rise and fall over the weekend, but I think it will fish just fine.  At this point, I think the color would be most important.  If the color is running more clear than usual, go with a smaller presentation and longer leader.  I don't think that will be a problem though.  The river has been on the high side over the last 2 weeks at least so I think this weekend will be money.  Actually today I think would be the best day in a long time.  I look to see many fish caught today.  But for those who fish the weekend, get out there.  It should be a good show.  Fish should be loaded in all the slots from top to bottom.  My favorite drift being from Mills Bridge to Sollie Smith Bridge.

Hope to hear of lots of fish being caught ...and good luck!
