In California, the visibility of the water on the rivers isn't as great as
in Alaska. On the Arolik River, I could see the rainbows in holding water
up to about sixty feet, the water is crystal clear. Therefore I was able to
see the behavior of these rainbows when I presented the dry fly.

Last year on the Kanektok, we experienced LOTS of rain. Although the
river never got muddy, it carried a tinge of color and was never clear
enough to spot fish like that. There were only a few situations where I
was able to sight fish to Rainbows. The Silvers were another story. The
Rainbows tend to blend into the background but the Silvers tend to stand
out. I'm hoping for some days with clear water like that this year.
