The West Bear Gulch road to Grape Ck was passable in the Crusher but 10 inches of recent rain had taken it's toll and even I was creeping over exposed rocks and across recent washes and otherwise riding high above rut lines from prior adventurers. The "stream" to Grape Ck was still even flowing. It was a very nice 85° day and data showed the flows were up to a smidge under 100cfs, higher than any prior experience down there in the Wet Mtns. Down on the creek visibility was nil and the flows sharply limited wading... I only fished from the banks really, though I did find ways to cross when needed. As I dropped in I encountered some retired guys from KC saying that I'd enjoy the fishing as they had been there the day prior and did well. So it was after I hiked in about a half mile and fished my way back up over ~3 hours. I caught a passel of ~10" rainbows (1/4) and browns (3/4) on largish ice stones & princes & BHPTs beneath and stimis on top. Nothing was rising and I couldn't see any fish due the water color but when they saw the flash-encrusted #12 stimi, the browns liked it. It was a good outing given my month layoff due to swelling rivers closer to home but I was ready to leave as my arms tired from landing smallish fish from milky water.
UPDATE... Oh, this is why it seemed high on Grape Ck. It was. It was not 80 cfs when I was there, it was 250cfs. Heed the words "check the flows."
