The Smith is on the drop and conditions should be excellent over the weekend, with river levels right around 9.5 to 10 feet at Jed Smith Park. A slight rise is forecast for Monday that will do more good than harm. Conditions look good for Tuesday/Wednesday, but another bigger rise is predicted for Thursday. The river was high over the weekend and early this week. There were a few boats who opted to drift, and some that plunked. Scores weren’t great for either. The fishing pressure has been pretty light.
