Running at 1,935 cfs as of Thursday, the Smith is open and should remain that way through the weekend. Quite a bit of rain is coming early next week, which will the keep the flows high and could bring in some early steelhead. The Smith is closed to all salmon fishing except for 1 Chinook Salmon and no more than 5 wild Chinook Salmon over 22 inches per year by federally recognized tribes while fishing under existing inland sport fishing regulations. Minimum flow: 600 cfs at the Jedediah Smith State Park gauging station.
