| For today the river level remains in the middle part of our "Low" range, just slightly below average for this time of year and a pretty decent canoeing level for early September. The river water temperature has dropped into the mid 70's with this wonderful cooler weather we have been blessed with the past few days. Fishing has been only fair at best this season although some days can be very active. Water clarity remains excellent, just beautiful in fact, although the river grasses we often see in late summer are back again this year. We have plenty of canoes, kayaks, rafts, and tubes available for today and for this holiday weekend, so if you get a sudden urge to get on the river, come on down. Remember to stay hydrated and slather on plenty of sunscreen, and guys, please, use protection (foot protection that is). We have been seeing way to many cut feet lately. See you on the river. | |||||||||||
