Wow – look at that graph below – we’ve got some water in the West Branch. The good news: All release – we’ve hit a level with the FFMP (flow plan) that has bumped us up to a 1,500 CFS release until further notice (until the reservoir drops to a certain level). The not-so-good: the fish will be shocked for the next day or so in the upper stretches of the river. The lower West should recover quickly, and this bodes VERY well for good daytime fishing. 1,500 is wadable in certain places, but other will definitely be more difficult in the coming days.
