River Conditions

[troutbum479]

anyone know the condition of the river? and what it might be like this weekend?

It appears to be up about 4" from the last rain and the flow is a a bit high but okay. You may have to cross the stream with caution with the higher flow. But it should be fishable.

think it will drop back down by sunday or monday?

Its only 2.76' at Akers at the moment...crossing might be difficult in spots, but it should be fly fishable unless it comes up another foot or so. Wouldnt expect much dry fly action, but streamers, nymphs, & cranks usually produce at this level. Cheers.

I believe it's supposed to rain down there again Sunday, you may want to check the weather forecast before making any plans.

ya last i checked it was 1.87 at tan vat.....which is where ill be doing most of my fishing .....i did hear i was supposed to rain sunday but i heard it was a morning fast passing shower that was going to hit ...so hopefully if it does hit it only rains for a hour or so..

So Gavin do you think above Baptist is still highly fishable? At 187cfs, its not super high and murky is it? Maybe just a bit off-color? Trying to justify driving up there to do some fishing for the weekend and hoping maybe the river will go head and come down a bit in the next 24 hours...

It only rose about 7" on the Montauk Guage and a foot down at Akers.......Should be just fine right now, mabye a bit milky, but definetly fishable. I'd go tomorrow if your going. Possible T-Storms on Saturday, but 1/2"-3/4" of rain in the forecast for Saturday night.
