Went over it tonight in a couple spots, looks pretty good by the clearwater store and still locked up on 752.

Still lots of snow and ice along the banks. Going to have a better look in the next couple days. Just got a brief glance tonight.

Sounds like it needs a little longer

Just came back today
Clear and low, still fair bit of ice but I think by the weekend it should be opened up

There is nothing over 10inches you don’t want to fish it :)

Upper reaches are currently clear and low...but as you get into the lower reach, lots of snow melt is starting to murk up the water. Expect water levels to come up quickly with the warm temps this week

In another month...you won't be calling it the "clearwater"....lol

Unfortunately it sounds like the window for good spring conditions is going to be a short window of a few days in the lower this year

In the past April has been good to go but sounds like this late spring is going to cause grief

Spent the day out there today by the store, fishing was slow. When I arrived the water was clear and low, but walking back to the truck I noticed that some spots were much harder to cross, so it was definitely getting higher and murkier as the day went on. Still fishable and awesome to be out there though!

Job interview will prevent me from going tomorrow but sounds like I may need to go the day after and try my like before she blows out

Good luck with the interview and the trip.

I missed my window for decent conditions :(

She was high and chocolate milk this morning after the last couple days of heavy melt. Did not even put on my waders
