anybody plannin to float the green this weekend?

[bearhunter59]

I'm thinking of floatin the green for some steelhead this weekend and was wondering if anybody else was planning on floating it?  It'd be nice to float with someone instead of by myself ALL the time.

I have a 10' Steelheader Guide model pontoon raft and love to fish for steelies on the Green with it...just like to have someone to chat with sometimes while floating...

Green River to close to fishing

Action: Close the lower portion of the Green (Duwamish) River in King County to all fishing beginning Jan. 16 and the upper portion of the river beginning Feb. 1.

Species affected: All game fish species.

Location and effective closure dates:

The lower Green River from the 1st Ave. South Bridge in Seattle upstream to the South 277th Bridge in Auburn will be closed from Jan. 16, 2010, through June 4, 2010.

The upper Green River from the 277th Bridge in Auburn upstream to the Tacoma Headworks Dam will be closed from Feb. 1, 2010, through June 4, 2010.

Reason for action: To reduce incidental mortality of wild steelhead. The 2009-2010 forecast of wild steelhead returning to the Green River is only 458 fish, well below the spawning goal of 2,000 steelhead. This action will reduce the incidental hooking mortalities of wild steelhead.

Information contacts: Steve Foley, District 12 fish biologist, (425) 775-1311; Annette Hoffmann, Region 4 Fish Program manager, (425) 775-1311.

anybody float today?  I didn't...I went down and checked it and it was like I figured it would be with all the rain we've had.....high and muddy.  I have monday off so maybe with little to no rain, it will drop a little and clear up by then.
