Does anyone know how much rain the Blue River area received earlier this week. My son wants me to take him fly fishing this weekend, and I was wondering if the water would clear up enough for some decent fishing this weekend.

I don't know about actual rainfall, but here's the gage: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/usa/nwis/uv?07332500Its a few miles downstream, so it picks up a little more tributary flow, but it might give you a good enough idea on what's going on with the flow.

Thanks guys, My 11 year old is really looking forward to the trip. I took him in November and he had a great time.

Any reports I'm thinking about driving up tomorrow morning? Bite was slow on flies, size 14 olive wooly bugger was best. My son switched over to super dupers on a spinning rod and limited out quickly. Gold was the super duper color they liked yesterday. The walk in area above camping area 2 was where the best bite was.

Have they finally gotten the C-n-R area stocked up? Heard they were pulling back on stocking there because of constant poaching. Too bad.

I usually fish the C&R area and then drive home, but this weekend we were thinking about camping up there, and I was thinking I remember that the camping area had hours that you could access it. Do they close the entrance at some time of day?
I didn't want to fish 'til dark in the C&R just to find we arrive at the camping area and the entrance be closed off for the night.

Right on, thanks man.
If any of y'all end up there this weekend and you see a black Silverado with a license plate that says FORK, stop by and say hi.
