River is dropping fast

Fish on sonar in The Slick, June 25, 2016
(larger version)
Eagle is still quite high, but dropping fast and pretty soon we will see some of our best pools forming up. A few of our guides have been testing the waters in the evenings the last couple of days, but have not seen fish yet. Reports from Sandhill River are that salmon are hitting the fence, but still in low numbers.
We always wondered if fish were going in unseen by us, because we often hear reports of fish being caught at 'The Gap', 16 miles upriver from us, before we see any. So, in an effort to verify this Dwight has been using sonar in the river. This pic is from this morning at the bottom end of 'The Slick'.
So with water levels dropping, and fish in the river, and for sure more to come, we are anticipating some great action any day!
