The Forest Service Road (FR 46) up the Breitenbush River has re-opened. River flows have dropped and are now around 160 cfs. Flows below 200 cfs are ideal. It will be stocked again this week with about 2,000 trout. Fly-fishing techniques such as nymphing are likely to produce more action than other methods.
