Good morning and welcome back!!! It’s a great day to be outdoors today, so I’m going to give you a quick river conditions report and I’m off to hike the foothills! Just a few moments the river flow out of Cheesman dam was 253 (cfs) and 358 (cfs) at the Trumbull station.  We remained rain and storm free yesterday, allowing the river to remain running clear as we head into the weekend.  After yesterday’s hike, I was pretty wore out, so I decided that simply sitting by the river and watching the fish was my best option for the evening.  From about 6:30 to about 8, I sat by the river and watched as day turned to evening and the buffet on the surface was open for business.  It was quick and ferocious, but for about fifteen minutes it was as if a school of piranha had arrived to feed!! Right now it’s a cool 55 degrees in the valley with a forecast high of 88! I’ll be reporting back this evening with some great pictures from today’s hike! Have a great day and remember to do something kind for someone else today
