The main Eel is still high and just starting to turn olive green, running at 12,000 cfs at Scotia Thursday. But that’s about to change as it’s predicted to peak at 33,600 cfs Sunday morning following rain on Friday and Saturday. If we see an extended dry period lasting around 10 days, it could come around into fishable shape. But that doesn’t appear to be the case as rain is back in the forecast for mid next week. The main stem Eel, from its mouth to the South Fork, is open to fishing all year. From April 1 through Sept. 30, only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used.
