I called my son Adam at 6:30am to see if he was coming. He said he was getting dressed which meant he was still in bed. My plan was to get to Alder and we did at 8:30. I tried to launch but it was too shallow and flat for me to float the boat off the trailer. Full pool is 1207 and it was 1183 feet. I said “Well, we could go to Clear.” But instead I chose Mineral. I haven’t fished Mineral for about 40 years.
