This weekend is going to be super. The river will be up. Sunny Saturday with a high of 60. Partly sunny Sunday with a high close to 70. The water is ice-melt cold however. I use the 100 degree rule- add water temperature and air temp and if it’s below 100 degrees, seriously consider a dry suit.
Also the buzzards (female) arrived yesterday. Hundreds of them flying and circling in the air. A huge flock.
Beavers are munching on trees at MS. I wonder if there’s any way we can induce them to eat trees on river right?

Yeah- number wise I’m more apt to go with 90 degrees just because I don’t like drysuits- but today at 20 inches, I knew I’d be in the water a lot so I wore one (32degrees + 45 degrees= 77 degrees.)
BTW the gauge and Roselle are matching 100 % right now- why I do not know- but there was a big log up at roselle and it may be gone now.
There is also still a LOT of snow in the mountains. That should really slow down the river drop.
Early run for me tomorrow-
