The Smith fished well Saturday, with most boats getting limits of bright kings. Fishing was a little tougher Sunday, as the river was on the rise for most of the day. There are bright as well as dark salmon spread from the forks to the outfitters, but not in big numbers. Most of the fish are being caught on plugs but back-bouncing the deeper slots with roe has also produced. Conditions look good through the weekend. https://cdec.water.ca.gov/river/smithStages.html
