The fast-clearing Smith went above 17 feet at the Jed Smith gauge Tuesday evening. It’s predicted to drop through Friday before it goes back on the rise Saturday. It will be fishable Thursday, but the water will likely be over 12 feet. Friday looks to be the best day with the height being under 11 feet and dropping throughout the day. There should be some fresh steelhead around and as well as some downers making their way to the ocean.
