Stamp River - Spring Conditions
Last week for Guided Trips
March 24 2015
This weeks Highlights:
Water conditions improved with the rains this last week, it was coloured up pretty good in the lower but the upper remained fishable through out the rain. Many fish are spawning now, so there is a mix of fish that have spawned and are on their way out and fish that are staging. So some darker ones along with some brighter ones in the mix. Same for the lower river, the fish are mixed. |
Current Conditions:
Medium Conditions right now with some darker areas where creeks are running into the mainstem.
Note that the charts below are measured at the Robertson Creek Hatchery which is in the upper river so conditions down stream can be very different.
High Overcast with light rain showers.
