The Smith is low and clear at 7.4 feet at the Jed Smith gauge as of Thursday, and dropping. Fishing pressure has been light and not a lot of reports of fish being caught. The main stem of the Smith will remain open through the end of April from its mouth to the confluence with the Middle and South Forks. The Middle Fork will also remain open through April from its mouth to Patrick’s Creek. The South Fork is open through April as well, from its mouth upstream approximately 1,000 feet to the County Road (George Tryon) bridge and Craig’s Creek to Jones Creek.
