Flows on the Russian right now are just under 400 cfs. Be sure to call the "low flow" hotline to see if the river is open to fishing since it may drop below 300 cfs this week, 707-944-5533. The river is in good shape right now with excellent clarity. Have not gotten a solid report of any steelhead being caught but there are salmon in the system so make sure you release them and keep them in the water, do not drag them on the beach to release. At this time of year there should be steelhead in the mix but of course the first big push will follow the next rain event. Weather is forecast to have a slight chance of showers midweek with a better system over the weekend. If this pans out we should see some more fish enter the system for the Thanksgiving week. Fingers crossed! Scott
