We are going to see some ups and downs over the next few months until the river stabilizes from spring run-off.  There is going to be some good to great fishing as well as some tough fishing.  Water clarity will be less and less as you go down river.  In fact, there will be some days where the clarity will be fine above the Teanaway river and the Lower Canyon will be unfishable.  As stated earlier, the river will be variable based on the weather, run-off and zone you are in until post run-off.
