The upper river has been steadily clearing all summer. Releases from Klamath Lake have been around 950 CFS for the past several weeks. Water clarity on the lower end has been good, the water temps have been bouncing between 70 and 74 F. With the numbers of adult and half pounder Steelhead and Kings in the Trinity, things are looking up for a good run of fish to be passing through the estuary in August.
