Bob, a few of the holding ponds look like a downtown bar just before closing time if ya know what i mean...lol
Yes, 285 is navigable.... but its gonna slow them down and from what i understand there were quite a few up top still... back in february they ran it 2 grand for more than a week and shut it down. I fished between the two bridges in town annd both back channels had dead and dying fish in them. I managed to save two of them and get them back to the main river. Hopefully a good percent makes it... the water is gonna do nothing but sky rocket from here...
