After peaking at 30,400 cfs on the Scotia gauge Thursday morning, the main stem will be on the drop for a couple days before the next big rain event. Saturday’s storm is forecast to push flows to nearly 75,000 cfs. Will need a solid 10 days of dry weather before it’s fishable. Will start to fish well at 3,500 cfs.
