The Smith is likely to see heavy boat traffic this weekend. If the predictions hold, it could open sometime Saturday morning. It’s forecast for a steep rise through Sunday, but could be fishable in the afternoon. Monday is looking like the day. It could be a little dirty and leafy, but fish should be coming. Minimum flows are 600 cfs at Jedediah Smith State Park to lift angling restrictions.
