High Water

As the days pass I keep hoping for some heat to melt this blasted snow that we have in the high elevations (Wind River Range) but it just won't warm up. I haven't even thought about going out around here with this dirty water. As far as the salmon run goes in Idaho, the water is way to high for the fish to even have a fighting chance to make it past some of the slide areas below Hells Canyon on the Snake River to make it to Riggins or further up to Salmon Idaho. So I sit and watch the hydrologic predictions internet waiting for a miracle to happen. It just needs to hit the 80's or 90's for about a week and get the melting and high water over with. If it hits 100,000 cfs it would clear everything out of the rivers and let the fish make their run! I will touch back with an update hoping to have some pictures to put up. Good luck in the high water!
