The quick-clearing Smith will provide steelhead anglers the first and best option once the rains subside. It peaked at nearly 54,000 cfs (22.13 ft.) on the Jed Smith gauge Tuesday morning. The lower river peaked at just above monitor stage at Dr. Fine Bridge at 27.12 feet. Continued but lighter rain will keep the river between 11 and 15 feet through early next week. It could be a little too high to drift safely but should be plunkable. Depending on how much rain we get next week, conditions could be excellent by mid-week.
