The Smith has been in great shape all week

Smith River - Smith River, CA (Del Norte County)

The Smith has been in great shape all week, running at just under 9.5 feet at Jed Smith gauge Thursday. The river is clearing, but the rain on the way should help. It’s predicted to peak at over 12.5 feet (13,100) cfs early Sunday morning and should be in prime shape next week. Reports have been hard to come by as most anglers have called it a season or moved to other rivers.
