Here we go again – the torrential rains last night and this morning have brought the West Branch up over 3,000 cfs this morning. It appears to have crested, and on the way down. Clarity is an issue, and the river is definitely UNSAFE for wading of any kind. The levels will continue to drop, and we will get back to fishable levels soon.
