The main stem is in great shape, and has been all week. As of Monday, flows were 2,100 cfs at Scotia and predicted to drop throughout the week. There should be some downers around, but conditions will continue to get tougher as the river drops. The main stem Eel to the South Fork is open all year. Only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used through Sept. 30.
