Smith River
The Smith remains low and clear, running at 3,200 cubic feet per second on the Jed Smith gauge as of Tuesday. Nearly 2 inches of rain is expected Thursday and Friday, and flows are predicted to jump to 7,500 cfs by Saturday morning. This should bring in some new fish and kick-start the downers making their way from the tributaries.
Sturgeon fishing closed on the Columbia, Northwest sturgeon fishing guides will resume Columbia River sturgeon fishing trips in the spring.
