Comments:

It was another weekly fishing outing with Ben and myself. I was not very enthusiastic on account of the rising water levels and the muddiness of the river. My hunch proved to be right, the fishing was horrible. A few fish were boated and seen, but it was very, very slow. The key to getting anything into the boat was clear water, which was not readily available.
Observations:

The river is still going up, but it should level off and start to drop within the next couple of days
