still think early June is the best but you sound like you had a great
day.

Whoooooa. Hold on. Early June IS the best time to fish the river.
Myron could only make it on the dates we went, and fishing was good
ONLY because we had such a very cold spring with lots of snow and cold
rain. Normally the Rapid shuts down before mid-July and doesn't begin
to pick up again until late August. September is pretty good fishing
because the days are cool and the evenings cold.

Right now, I expect the Rapid is fishing very poorly, with only the
dam pool producing any fish. The lake is still full (or near to it),
so September of this year should be very good.
