With high expectations (predicted warm temps, clear water, full moon, blue bird skies and a high pressure system), Bruce and I launched out of POR around 9:15a. We decided to go down river for a bit



We found lots of rocks, deep holes, boulder fields and eddies but not a hit to be had.

We did see an eagle, 5-6 trains and lots of wildlife. At one point, we saw another boat! And...a bizillion carp!
