posted by: 4th Generation. Fished in the rain storm on June 6. Temps dropped considerable from the night before and fishing was down right NASTY. We really didn't have a problem picking up our fish, as were running cranks south of town. Personally I don't think it has much affect on fishing if you are uning cranks correctly. Faster speeds seemed to get them going!

Good Luck!

posted by: Allen. Took most of today off of work. Fishing was terrible!

Water not nearly as bad as a person would have thought, but only caught three in almost five hours today.

All on cranks, couldn't buy a fish if a jig was attached to the pole.

posted by: BDub. It might get a bit muddy but there is a whole lot of water down south. It was so clear that you could see diving lures that were snagged several feet down. Other than Apple Creek I am not sure that any other rivers were hit that hard. Apple Creek is flowing like a bandit.

Might even help fishing if it doesn't get crazy dirty.

Hope your right.

posted by: XERO. I would expect a lot of muddy water from Apple Creek, just like a couple of months ago. I guess we'll have to see if fishing is impacted. My guess is that it won't be hurt that much.

posted by: BDub. It rained pretty good Monday morning down at Cattail. That didn't seem to stop the fish from biting later that day. We limited out in a few hours.
