Report: The national forest closure has been extended through September 17th state wide. Smoke is also a factor in the drainage, some days it has been quite bad. However, the river continues to fish well. Just keep your thermometer handy and quit when the water temps go north of 65 degrees. 
We will keep you in the loop when we hear about the closures ending.

Here are some useful links to monitor the flows:
