Floated the river from Westernport downriver for the day. It was excellent streamer fishing. 26 fish in the raft. 20 rainbows, 1 brown, 2 smallmouth, 3 fall fish. So really 23 fish in the raft. I am not a fish counter but the guide did'nt forget. Nor did he forget the ones I missed either! Fun!

The North Branch has a bottom release dam, so the water was nice and cool.

Missed maybe a half dozen or so more. River is at it's summer level of 300 cfs. Water is very murkey in the section I floated due to the effulent from a paper mill. It seems to be to ok, the fish are nice and large in that section but not much to any dry fly fishing. Did'nt see much in the way of bugs either. But the streamer fishing was great.

Great day of fishing on hot summer day.

Or as Danny says "feeshin".

Not gonna find a much cheaper float than these guys:

I caught twice as many than 2 guys on the "other" boat. Credit to the guide Danny there!
