Sandy, or better yet "The Muddy"

Just got back from the Sandy. There is finally some water in it, but it is the color of a latte. Visability is approx. 1 inch. Saw fish rolling as high as dodge park. Hopefully it will clear soon.

Lower river seemed a tad better - I would give it about a foot of visibility.

I was at Dodge Park this morning as well, and I would say that the above statement was being generous. As long as I was up that early, I had to atleast get my line wet. I could not see my tackle until it was out of the water completely. I can't wait until it begins to clear up though. Should be My-tee-fine!!

Sandy's up about 1.4 feet sitting at 8.46. at least I wouldn't have to drag my boat down half of the river.

I wouldn't say they bite better in zero visibility. Last year for a couple days they did. Today the bite was slow. I lucked out with one and could barely see the thing to pull it on the bank. I have never seen the Sandy that color at the height it is. I still wouldn't even like drifting it. THANKS CODY
