The Smith blew out Tuesday as flows hit 76,500 cubic feet per second (25.8 ft.) on Wednesday morning on the Jed Smith gauge. It was plunkable on Thursday but it was big. Conditions are looking good for Friday through the weekend for drifting. Overall, the fishing has been tough. Scores are ranging from zero to two per boat, with a lot more zeros than twos. Hopefully, the big rise will bring in more fish.
