Sam Potter Posted April 13, 2008 Posted April 13, 2008 I wish I had some good news, but I don't. The rivers around here are still running too high to wade and fish safely. Everytime we get these high waters more sand, gravel and crossing areas are moved or changed. The flow is too swift for good drifts and no one really needs to take a chance on wading. I know that there are some die hards that will fish it, especially if they have driven a long way, but extra caution is a necessity. I would not recommend wading the streams until about mid week or the end of the week. Keep an eye on the water levels by visiting the USGS water Data sites.

Members nymphermaniac Posted April 13, 2008 Members Posted April 13, 2008 At the park USGS is reporting 243 cfs for the Current and dropping. I was thinking of heading down tomorrow. I did ok last year around this time when it was around 200 cfs at the park--not great but ok. Is the trophy section clearing at all around and above Tan Vat at least?
Gene K Posted April 14, 2008 Posted April 14, 2008 Just as Sam said, the water is high and swift. I passed on fishing this morning, but there were a few that were out in canoes and yaks on the upper Current. Color wasn't too bad. I went down to the park for lunch, and didn't see a single person wading the bait area. Didn't stop to examine it to see if wading was even feasable, but it didn't look that bad. At Cedar last night, the water was still over the low-water bridge.
