Kenny Priest

The main stem is dropping into shape. As of Thursday, it was running at 7,800 cubic feet per second at the Scotia gauge and should be down to 6,000 cfs by mid next week. It will need to get down close to 5,000 cfs before it’s fishable. The main stem Eel, from its mouth to the South Fork is open to fishing all year. From April 1 through Sept. 30, only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used.
