The water was about 30cm higher than expected and somewhat murky. Likely due to localized cloud bursts which could have been more localized upstream
Ran out of test strips just before getting here
The water was very high due to snow melt. It was fast and wider than the banks
Water is higher than usual for time of year. Very rainy summer
Water was high, fast and dirty due to freshette in the mountains
Almost completely iced over. One open lead that was safely accessed
Did not see any evidence that Chinook had returned. There is usually a trap to count the returning salmon but it isn't being set up this year. The water was not as low as many other steams at this time of year which I feel is normal for this creek.
