Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 2,300 cfs at the Waterloo gauge as of Feb. 20. The river's turbidity is improving as there are no longer any sediment inputs coming from Green Peter reservoir. Otherwise, there is not much currently available to catch until spring Chinook begin to arrive in late April.
