The Mad peaked at 13 feet (8,300 cfs) Monday morning and is dropping quickly. As of Thursday, it was under 11 feet. It’s predicted to drop through the weekend and could be down near 8 feet by mid-next week. There could be a short window late next week for some green water. The river fishes best between 7 and 8 feet.
