shing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently flows are around 2,400 cfs at the Waterloo gauge as of Feb. 26. These conditions are unlikely to last as heavy rain and snow are forecast for this week. 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. Anglers are reminded that bait is not allowed until April 22.
