>>984634>>984639>>984658Both sediment from snow runoff and really really high water flow making it so you can't wade in. The sides of the creek are too thic to fish from as well.
I went up north a little more after talking to the guy at the fly shop and went to the main river where the salmon and steelhead swim and holy fuck was it nice out there. Water was moving fast but there were a few pools I could see that wernt that bad. Really wish I had an 8 weight rod right about now.
That guy at the shop told me about a few clubs I could join that will help me find good spots and patterns that the fish seems to be keying in on at certain times so that should be good. He also educated me on portions of the main river that are sitrictly fly fishing only and said that hardly anyone fishes them and that I could easily catch 5-10 ~12" stocked trout from the pools all spring- summer long so once this water stops being gay I should be able to hook up into my first ever trout
Pic related is the river. I took a walk along the bank before I headed home
