The quick-clearing Smith is in perfect shape as of Thursday, sitting at 10.45 feet on the Jed Smith gauge. It’s predicted to drop through Saturday morning before it goes on the rise throughout the day. Sunday and Monday are looking like fishable conditions before it goes on a bigger rise Tuesday. The 10-day forecast shows the river being just above being driftable, but good conditions for plunking from shore or a boat. There should be some steelhead moving in with the next few storms.
