Clear is a debatable word. The Musky was high and will not be getting much lower by 8:00 A.M. on Saturday. (I'd be very careful wading....very careful!) The river near Hampton was not brown by any stretch (this morning) but it was not gin clear either. Given the amount of rain we've had, it certainly was not muddy under the circumstances. The stretch below Hampton picks up lots more silt from the tilled and untilled farmland in that valley so yoohoo colored water is more likely.
My choice for the opener will be the smaller, rocky brooks that will drop and clear much quicker than the bigger rivers. By next week, that all changes.
