The heat’s turning on up here this week, and not just in the work sense.

The American is running at slightly over 12,000 cfs right now, but is fishable, if only slightly. I don’t look for it to come down significantly for some time. Fished it yesterday afternoon/evening. No fish, but what a beautiful sunset!

Still fishable at 12,000 cfs? Dang….
