With the recent storms, we have seen a surge in flows through the northern section of the river through the former dam sites peaking at nearly 8,500 CFS on the Iron Gate gage. Clarity at the boat ramp there was very low. Below in the mid sections the river has swelled with flows at Seiad Valley topping 28,000 CFS, at the bottom gage they were 188,000 CFS. We hope many more storms this winter will continue to flush the system. This is good news all the way around, lots of water for the fish and we hope this flushes a lot of the murk out of the system. We'll give a report in the spring when things calm down.
