    Two weeks left. Assuming no additional rain river is going to be sitting up for some good fishing.

    Stay tuned....3-6 inches supposed to fall in the next 48 hours. If it does rain that much and make it a waste we will cancel. I will post here for final call.

    Cancelled due to rainfall bringing the water up 2.5-3 feet in the 24 hours leading into the tourney and aggressive current.

    Thanks for all those where willing to attend regardless of conditions. Hopefully next year we can get some get stable conditions and work on them.

    I am going to start a new thread for a possible derby next year and if people can give their feedback that would be appreciated.

    Bummer. Was hoping to fish this one but absolutely agree with your call. All it would take in that current is a motor hiccup to turn it into a very serious situation.
