Flows were good, but it was still a little off color before it blew out on Monday reports Grundman. "Yager Creek was dirty, which kept the lower river murky. I think it was fishable above, but I didn’t hear of any reports," Grundman said. As of Wednesday, flows were nearly 4,500 cfs on the Grizzly Creek gauge.
