The Smith peaked at over 16 feet at the Jed Smith gauge Wednesday, but is in great shape as of Thursday. It’s still a little big, but it’s back to green. It will be in prime shape through Friday when the next big rise is forecast. It’s predicted to reach nearly 21 feet (46,775 cfs) Saturday evening, but should be down to fishable conditions no later than Tuesday. A few steelhead were caught by plunkers on Wednesday, so it looks like more fish are starting to make their way into the river. Conditions look excellent for next week.
