I have seen 0 boats out there so far and with the Okanogan River puking chocolate milk it might be awhile for clarity.

I am sure there is fish showing up though.

River is high, fast and muddy. Give it a little bit and should get better

Way too early for this years conditions. I saw a half dozen boats out yesterday. Beats work I guess. Also, as for Wells, the boat launch is destroyed at this point. With water still ripping over the dam, I have no clue when it will be rebuilt.

the report is the 14th or 15th before launch is fixed up and clear.. i'm guessing give it awhile, the dams are still wide open and your right the okanagon/methow are puking mud. i'm thinking the few kings that are over wells are going to continue to head up the okanagon since water high and cold and not hold up. just my  :twocents:

4000 fish over wells is what I heard last.  Okanogan is high and nasty.  The water is fast and rough below wells.  Best to wait a bit for more fish and better conditions.

I think you're referring to the Springers that passed over the dam.  As for what they classify as the summer run (most of the fish caught up here), there's only around 500 passed, of which a bulk percentage were jacks.   500 Reds also.
