Bill......I was up there yesterday and the River was moving pretty good. There were folks fishing behind the guide shop but then only saw 2 other rigs up higher on the river I couldnt tell you the exact level that makes it too high to fish but after seeing it yesterday and with the rain we are seeing right now I would have to sugest to save on the gas money and go when the conditions are a little better. Just my .02 here good luck if you go thou

The river is at 8.08 as of 3:45 PM. Too high. Forecast is for it to go much higher.

When its gets above 7.5, it's pretty tough.

Big rain is falling so it isn't dropping. Too high.

Try a smaller stream -- they'll fish better in high flows.
