Hope everyone is doing fine and all are ready for some fun Fishing this year. Just curious if anyone can update me on the water status of the Clearwater River. We are thinking about doing a Trip on it.
The river is at it's lowest water level now. The run off from the mounatins is
a month away. In places there is high banks of ice on the shore line. In
places one can wade it. Good time to catch big browns.
Have fun.
The Clearwater is not clear. Above the Prairie Creek confluence there was less than 18" visibility and below Prairie Creek, it fell to about 6".
Yesterday downstream of the Highway # 54 bridge it was quite off-colour as well.
With the very slow spring, it may not clear till the mountain run-off is finished in mid-July.
At this point it is not worth the effort.
Well up into the foothills the river might still be fishable.
