The Smith was back on the rise Thursday morning after a little more than two inches of rain fell in the morning. It’s predicted to peak at just under 14 feet at Jed Smith Thursday night and should be on the drop through the weekend. Will likely be the only game in town for some time. Fishing has been tough, but hopefully this rise will bring down some spawners and bring in some fresh fish.
