Nearly 4 inches of rain fell between Wednesday and early Thursday morning, blowing out the Smith for the next couple days. As of Thursday afternoon, flows were over 28,000 (17 feet) at the Jed Smith gauge and still rising. It’s predicted to hover between 12 and 12.5 feet Saturday through Tuesday. The color should be good, but flows a little on the pushy side. Fishing has been tough this past week as there doesn’t seem to be a lot of fish around. This type of rain will usually start to bring some of the downers out of the tributaries and should bring in some new fish as well.
