The river dropped into shape Tuesday and the plunkers did well. Both bank and boat anglers reported multiple hookups. The river was on the rise Wednesday, but the handful of boats out caught fish. A few were also caught drifting from the forks down. With more rain on the way through Friday, it will be on the rise and forecast to peak Friday afternoon at just under 20 feet at the Jed Smith gauge. It should be plunkable through the weekend, with prime conditions on tap for next week.
