Near Drum, the RDR clarity is sensitive rain (with all the sandstone cliffs). A downpour will turn the river into chocomilk for a day or so.
With the clarity in mind, would you suggest trying further upstream, I have heard Tolman and Dry Island mentioned if previous threads. Or even all the way closer to Red Deer like someone else mentioned?

I have to admit I am pretty excited about how much fun they sound for dry fly fishing.
