Eel River Report

11-17-2022
Kenny Priest

The main stem Eel near Scotia was running at 370 cubic feet per second as of Thursday. Flows are predicted to fall below the 350 cfs threshold by the weekend, so it could close. There were some fish caught over the weekend by bank anglers and boats drifting the lower river. Most of the fish are dark. There are also some coho around. River forecast levels can be found here: cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=SCOC1.
