I went into the Rapid River today with my friend Tom.  We couldn't have asked for a better day fishing or weather.  We managed to pick up 18 fish between the to of us, 15 trout and 3 salmon.  The trout ranged from 15"-19" and the salmon were 12", 17" and 22".  Nymping was the ticket!  The flow was 400 cfs.  The fish seem to be moving up throughout the river.  Our other area rivers are still in runoff stage and difficult to fish.  Lets hope we don't get any substantial rain on top of this.  I heard the peepers the other night and have seen trucks go by with smelt nets in the back so the smelt ,if not already, will be runing soon.
