Flows are bouncing around, and I expect it to stay that way until probably November. I'd expect elevated flows through next spring and summer regardless of what kind of winter we have. I'm not a big fan of fishing here, especially wading when the flows are over 300cfs, so be careful and check yourself for tics when you get off the water.
