The water is gin clear. Add 3ft. of tippet to your 9ft. leader. Scale down one size from the size leader you are using. Example if your leader is 4X add 3ft. of 5X tippet.

Above Daguerre Dam trout fishing has been great. Caddis, PMD's, Little Yellow Sallies along with Golden Stones have all been productive. Below Daguerre Dam Shad fishing has been great also, we are seeing 30 to 50 shad to the net during each adventure.
