Rain, Weeds, and Boulders

Arrived to the lower earlier today to beat the crowds. Just a couple of boats got to the boat ramp right after we put on. Into fish right away and the first couple of hours were good. The river came up, got very weedy, a little drity, and the bite went off. Things just seemed weird and then I got to Canaday and there's a massive contraption of some sort spread about halfway across the water.

So, we fished on with a few here and there. It was cold and wet anyway so an early day was ok. Got back to the shop, checked the flows, they didn't make sense, and then it all made sense. http://chronicleoutdoors.com/2010/08/30/massive-boulder-collapse-causes-damage-to-madison-dam-north-of-ennis/.

This should be fun.
