I guided John and Brian from the bay area today on the middle river.  We had steady and sometimes heavy rain from the time we launched until about 3pm.  The river came up, but remained clear and very fishable.  John and Brian had a good time learning how to fish nymphs under indicators.  John even had his first spey casting lesson.  Brian caught the only fish of the day, a bright hatchery hen.  Like many other steelhead this year, it ate a size 10 red copper john.  It was a really fun day despite the rain.  The higher flows will make the fish move around.  I'm expecting some really good fishing this next week.
