We use to cross over at the c and r line and hope like heck that they didn't run water before we got back. I’ll say it again and I know it’s not the most popular opinion but I don’t like min flow. There I said it again. laker67 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know it well enough to know what is right there. I will say it is a frustrating and unpredictable flow, almost any time of year. But the fishing can be the absolute best when it is right.

There I said it again. The new Minimum Flow doesn’t bother me. What bothers me is the inconsistent reporting of water changes and unreliable generation predictions. We are days away from 2021 and they still don’t have horns downriver every mile or so that would alert you to water level increases. The horn at the dam is handy if you near the dam, but useless for 3/4 of the river. Heck, ,just adding a horn at McClellands and Ackerman would make a huge difference. laker67 and snagged in outlet 3 2 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future.

I've been fishing there for 50 years. If they only ran when it needed that would be great. Best 4 miles of trout water in the lower 48!
