I fell and hurt my knee.
We were just inside the doors, top right so I could stretch my leg into the aisle without tripping anybody.
I don't remember what it was for exactly but the first applause was started by Lucky.
Rose was sitting right across the aisle from us.
 
 
 

I was very surprised that we shared the Midriver with a nearly full house, but we were the only ones at the meeting.  I think a lot of them pulled out for home when they saw what was happening with the flow (Thursday's 2200 is hard fishing, but 3500 is a waste of energy for a flyrodder, I can't imagine today's 5500!).  Certainly, Friday PM was almost abandoned except for the boaters, and they were getting quite a ride.
 
I should add that the hatchery was full, 7 races with fish, lots of hogs, so if they stay there until the water recedes a bit, and don't just ride the first wave below Beaver dam all the way to the lake, May could be lots of fun up there.
 
I said hello to Fred, he was out scrubbing one of the dry tanks, he says he'll be there most days until July when he gets laid off for a month.

I'm wondering what happened with the fingerlings they planted downriver on Thurs before the cfs jumped up twice.  
I think I recall them saying it was only about 4000 fish but since they were in the currentless raceways and suddenly hit in the face by 5500cfs did they find a place to ride it out or are they in the lake without imprinting on the river?
