COME HELL OR HIGH WATER


As I write this article many of the rivers in the Rocky Mountain States are at or above flood stage as a result of our generous snow pack from the preceding winter and a generally cool and wet spring. High water is predicted to continue well into the early summer months on many streams and this reality makes it necessary for the angler to approach all water bodies, especially flowing water, with extreme caution. High water is not only a danger to wading anglers but also to anglers in floating watercraft.
