Still
another slow day, we are now up to 45 total fish caught with an 84

River
Height - 48.26; Mud Count - 1722; Water Temperature - 55. The fish are definitely at Intake! With our numbers at 572, FWP has decided to close our fishing season on Saturday, May 31st at
9 p.m. This is our 24 hour notice of season closure. If we go over our quota of 800 at Intake, our season will potentially end earlier on Saturday at Intake only. Sunday, June 1st, will begin 10 consecutive days of catch & release and then the paddlefish season will be over for this year.
