PM River guide report for April 17th, 2008

Water Conditions - Perfect, a little high with some color.

Fishing Conditions - OK to good but were expecting a fresh batch of fish any day.  We fished streamers a bit the other day and rolled a few nice browns and landed one around twenty.

Tip - Everything for me that last few days has been on pink or peach eggs and small black stones.  An indicator rig with little weight has been producing many more fish than  the bottom bounce (chuck-n-duck) set-up.
