Check it out. The water temperature at Hale Eddy TODAY is about 2.5
degrees Celcius lower than it was on this day in July 2002, which was
cooler than it was in July 2003. Flow today is about 200cfs higher than it
was a year ago. In fact, the flow today is above the 20th percentile for
90 years of data.

You can blame the recent poor fishing on the new water management policies,
but that would be just wrong. Conditions seem no worse than they have for
the past two years, and maybe they're a hair better.

I don't mind you guys making your case, but try not to ignore facts,
please.
