The Smith was below 8 feet on the Jed Smith gauge Thursday morning after peaking at 15 feet last Friday. The river is low and clearing, and will remain that way through the weekend into Monday. Rain coming Monday, however, will put the river back on the rise. There should be some early steelhead around but the season typically gets going after Christmas. The first steelhead of the year was trapped at the Rowdy Creek Hatchery Sunday. https://www.cnrfc.noaa.gov/graphicalRVF.php?id=CREC1
