You failed to include the author of this profound proclamation.  Tom Rosenbauer!  Are you kidding me?  I'm supposed to take the guidance of a man that couldn't hang on to Margot?  If Tom can't gratify and retain a good looking gal, then I ain't listening to his angling decrees.   

And earlier you mention our good pal, Big J.   While I deeply admire (on some stuff) and adore the young man, he uses a pink weenie like it is the only pattern available.  This misdirected dogmatic conduct on brookie waters leaves me numb and generates reservation when it comes to his angling aptitude.

You need to choose your referenced authorities carefully.

You forgot to add that I like stainless steel.

As of 8:30 PM on tues 24th, flows show 330 at dam, but almost 900 in Bassett.  How can this be?

Woolly Bugger

They got three or four inches of rain and the lake is full

They may be generating and the dam is still overtopping

They can't generate. The can open the gates more, though. Don't expect an announced release. Surfs up!

Looked at the river this morning. Something's up with that gauge. It's not that high.

From Brian Williams:

Smith River report: In response to recent rains the Corps has increased the sluice gate release to 650 cfs. Expect this flow over the next few days then reducing back to 130 cfs. The good news is the increased flow seems to be helping clear out the sediment from the last 4 months of deposition from Philpot to Bassett.

Flushing the toilet is good.

650? There are running 350 now.  Just want to make sure that wasn't a typo.

troutfanatic

it's be interesting to know if that sediment will impact hatches this spring. That might be a Mudwall question.

last year I questioned what harm the free flow release or sluicing was doing.
