Big changes are coming by Friday as the Smith is forecast to rise following some decent rain projections Thursday. After a couple peaks and valleys, it’s predicted to reach close to 11 feet on the Jed Smith gauge Saturday night. There should be some early steelhead starting to show. The Smith is closed to all salmon fishing except for 1 Chinook Salmon and no more than 5 wild Chinook Salmon over 22 inches per year by federally recognized tribes while fishing under existing inland sport fishing regulations. https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=CREC1
