While it has dropped somewhat, the flows at the lake are still around 1,600 CFS. Keep your eyes on the forecast, we've got a few more storms on the way. Fishing on the low end may be a little sketchy, if you would like to go we'd suggest looking higher in the system like above Simms. Baum Lake is fishing great and if you are Jonesing for a stream you should check out Hat Creek. We'll stay on top of the flows and update the report when it drops back in.
