FWIW. Heard a rumor that the dam was fixed but they lost their contract to sell power. Supposedly they may sign a new one in October. You know how rumors go though. Could be BS.

Just a rumor according to rocky. Looks like cold water may be back in july or august as of now.

What I'm most interested in is what kind of flows the lower will get during the weekends.

Now I have to figure out what's  the lowest flow you can float it on. I know I could get down the upper at 180cfs on my old boat.

Whatever the minimum flow is plus 450 when it catches the lower dam. It won't get there until at least 3:30-4 anyway..

The full moon night float from 6pm to 12 will be fun in the summer

Not if the Smith River fog is out. Learned that last summer.

1. Smith if running strong and clear at 700cfs
2. Sulfurs are popping off
3. Trouts are rising in some spots... mostly where you can't get to them
4. Wading isn't much fun right now
5. can't wait for the water to get back down to 160 or so...

I sucked up and recently got on the list for advance notifications. Once they get back to normal this will give us a heads up 3-4 days prior to the announcement being updated. Right now it gives us notice a day or more before they make a change in the sluice gates. 

Up to Woolly - I suggest a separate threat, or if you want I can just post it here on the "Smith - Continued" thread

Right now they are sluicing at 650cfs. Add a few cfs coming out of Town Creek and it is about 700cfs as reported by Woolly.

They indicated there would be a further reduction toward the end of this week if there were no significant weather events. I anticipate an email today or tomorrow with an update.

1"+ of rain predicted for tonight and tomorrow.  Is that significant?

That's being generous, J.  Bro, you are  -+;.  But you deserve it because you fish too damn much.

I expect nothing less than a 14" Appalachian Char from the two of you.  Hit it!
