The main Eel reached 91,000 cfs Wednesday afternoon on the Scotia gauge. Needless to say, it will be blown out for the foreseeable future. The main stem Eel, from its mouth to the South Fork is open to fishing all year. From April 1 through Sept. 30, only artificial lures with barbless hooks may be used.
