Drifted the N. Fork Lewis today. Found some springers. The reason for this post is the fact that I saw smelt in the river I mean 1000's of them. It just blew my away. I was drifting in 2 to 3 feet of water when I first saw them. They were coming up so thick you could not see the bottem of the river. When I stoped by the local watering hole for a cold one the old timers told me it had been 20 years since they had head of smelt runs like that. Some others also confermed this. Bottel line I was just happy to see something that had not been there come back. Things do have an up side.

Keep The Rivers Clean!

YIPPEE! It's about time something good happened as far as runs returning. Maybe this is a pre-cursor to the salmon and steelhead runs.

Let's keep our fingers crossed on that one!!!
