The Smith was on a slow rise Thursday morning, but likely to peak at less than predicted. As of noon it was around 2,290 cfs and may not go much above 2,300 cfs. Rain last Sunday brought flows up Monday and the fishing was decent. Some fresh fish were caught, but the majority are now dark and there’s some nice coho around. The ensemble forecast shows the river dropping through next Tuesday, with the next small rise predicted for Wednesday. Minimum flow: 600 cfs at the Jedediah Smith State Park gauging station. cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=CREC1
