Flows and fishing both peaked last Thursday as the river peaked at over 11 feet on the Jed Smith gauge. Since then, it’s been getting low and clear. Back bouncing roe in the spots that have current has been the ticket this week and will be the case through the weekend. A slight rise is predicted for Friday, but it’s predicted to remain under 7 feet. There are likely a few bright kings still making their way in, along with some darker fish. Quite a few coho have been caught this week. Minimum flow: 600 cfs at the Jedediah Smith State Park gauging station. cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=CREC1
