Well the Smith River is low and gin clear, we are in need of rain! Today on the morning drift we were pestered by a Seal. He was tearring up the water and raising hell with the fish. We hooked one and lost it. It all changed in the afternoon. Our second drift we hooked 5 and landed 4. All the fish were Natives and released back into the river. We had alot of fun once the furbag we gone. We have rain in the forecast.
