The main stem had just begun to turn green Tuesday, but now it’s big and muddy and on the rise. As of Thursday, flows at Scotia were 23,000 cfs. Flows will be up and down through early next week, but nowhere near fishable. It’s predicted to peak Tuesday at nearly 65,000 cfs. It will start to fish once it gets below 5,000 cfs.
