A few here and there. Prett tough for bankies. The water level has maintained over 9000 CFS for over a week now. I fished it at 7500 CFS a week and a half ago and it was pretty tough to wade in. Currently the CFS is at 9,880. I really hope the levels go back down to under 6000. My buddy fished Blue Creek in his sled Sunday and they boated 1 free drifting eggs. He said not much reported by several boats or anything from the bankies. I am not sure about the Springers though.
