I had scouted the river the week before and it was looking pretty good. There was a good flow and gin clarity. My buddy Dalton wanted to take a trip to Portland and so we thought it would be a good idea to try and fish for the day. Having not fished much past Red Barn in recent years I took him up to a hole I knew can often produce some fish. The river was still gin clear and it was obvious there were no fish. We stuck around and fished for maybe an hour in case any were to come through but none did. We got back in my truck and headed down the river and stopped at a few other holes to see if we could see any fish with no luck. Beautiful day though and great flow on the river.
