As of Thursday, the Smith remained at over 10 feet on the Jed Smith gauge and was in great shape. As it continues to drop through the weekend and into next week, fishing will get tougher with the clearing water. Fishing was slow last weekend and earlier this week, but there has been some fish caught. Boat pressure has decreased as a lot of guides have moved over to the Chetco.
