The river close to the airport has been around 1.5 feet for the last 60-days, right now it is 3.75 feet deep.

Don't know where they get their information, or if there was a rise on the river since Saturday, but the river at the airport consist of small pools where the water depth ranges from less than a foot in some places to Maybe four feet or deeper and then these pools are at times seperated by riffles that are only five or six inches deep where even a kayak has to be dragged to get from one pool to the next.
I was just there last Saturday and at the boat launch you have to launch your kayak off to the right side of the ramp in order to get it to float and then make a circle hugging the right bank as you turn upstream to go up river.
Be prepared to do a lot of dragging.
The fishing was terrible and nobody I talked to was doing very good but that was right after that big front so the jury is still out until it warms up a few days and see what happens.
If you have a good pair of chest waders you can just walk up river and fish the pools.
If there was a significant rise in the water level it will be really muddy and usually when it's muddy the bite is no good. That's not good news because by the time it clears the run would be pretty much done for this year.
