South Fork Eel River

The South Fork is forecast to drop through Friday, but won’t get down to a fishable level prior to the rain coming this weekend. As of Thursday, it’s predicted to be down to 3,400 cfs at Miranda by Tuesday. If the rain comes as predicted mid-week, it will be back to high and muddy.
