Fichy not really so much.
With every flood things change and as I have aged I've 
A) fished it less (mainly just the time I really like)
2) not had the stamina of my youth to go prospecting(sad but true)
 
So if I go this week (and I will unless the home trickles are fishing crazy good)
I will guess, pull in take a look and a poke or two and move around looking.
 
By way of asemi off point memory.
I used to walk in from Coho street over the top of the Blackhole to a spot between what is now the Glide and the little Black that was along the south bank that on high water I would fish top water with some minor success.
Low water and the top of your boots was dry.

Although the word is in the forecast I really do not expect any HUGE accumulations  (more than 4 to 6 inches over the next week.   Rain on the other hand may come.   I am with the others and also have not been doing this enough to have any really good spots in high water.   If it is super high this weekend I will just get chores at home done and wait it out until it lowers.  With  everything though it gets better with trying it out.  2 years ago I would not have thought about fishing at 1k and now I have a few go to spots that fish pretty well.  

Thanks, HT. Hopefully, it calms down a bit for Jack early in the week and for the rest of us later..... I'll give you a call tomorrow or Sat.

Fichy, c and d with fly gear for steelhead was spawned from high water conditions. We started with weight forwards and minimal weights but we often came and it would be a gate and a half or two gates and after a 4 hour ride we fished however we could to catch fish. C and d eventually became exploited and the intent of catching fish legally was skewed... all in all its not a bad method when used properly. Can't tell you how many times I've fished the joss hole in high water from the north bank using c and d along the slate seam hammering fish... or should I say fish hammering. It definitely has a bad rap on the river these days, but if I were you and you had no other choice go for it bud. Good luck if you go.

Dime,where in your post does it tell me if the Sun will shine and the wind will be SW next week,where is it mentioned Dime?I need some encouragement!

Jack...not a cloud in the sky at the moment... a favored high water spot of nine is burning a hole in my chest. Just might have to float some beads or sacs through as long as no ones in it... an hours effort at most.

Fichy, regardless of Johns report, the fish are here...you just gotta find em... I'll be shocked if he got skunked though

Clint its dried up here bud. . Could change though. First spot chosen was packed. Decided to hit my green water but unfortunately it was brownish instead.. oh well. I'm really starting to question this whole video game of a fishery we got here. Cars everywhere and little open water. I used to look forward to open water this time of year. I guess I'll wait it out more.

BTW , winds were sw all day long... luckily its not too cold or else wed be buried in lake effect

Dime it's dry here too when I got home.   That's the thing with lake effect.........
 
L if it is where I think you are saying   (where you saw a steel headbutt another fish to push it's eggs out (I think you said that????)) I really thought about it and the weekend is not over either.

Clint,
 
Yep, that's the spot.  Won't kill your legs, that's for sure!

Love the wind....when Im not there. Hope it takes care of the rest of the leaves but from what I saw yesterday there are still a lot of green leaves left on trees. No fishing for me till next week finished a lot of drywall for a friend today with a lot more to do tomorrow. Buddy of mine just got a doe after missing a great 10 pointer. Man it seems life is cranking by full bore!

Wind was ripping this morning. Took a ride down to the lake and steady 4 foot rollers were pounding the surf. Wanted to hit dsr for a few but never got the chance. Got a few quick drifts at the ball park mid morning with no success.

I take that back... stabilizing water everywhere else except the salmon river ;)

They bumped it to 1500 last night. Let's see what Thursday brings as if it comes we could see 2000+

Must be getting ready for a gully washer.

Rt, two flow gauges I watch to predict flows coming from tug went up Saturday night ... one of them surprisingly went up today out of nowhere... must of been a fluke isolated storm??? But Saturday and Sunday got heavier rains to the north and east so naturally it takes a few days for it to get to the dam... I think that's why they probably raised it. Thursday in to Friday will be a whole other bowl of wax. If it comes hard we may see some natural run off as an instant increase but most likely it will be a Saturday or Sunday flow increase for the dam. Its been really dry today and yesterday so the ground will absorb some... but not a lot. I have two spring flows in my backyard that I am tuning in to for approximations of local natural flows. Its pretty neat. The tug hill is a whole other bowl of wax. This past winter proved that as we had a flood from a dry week in the beginning of April. Little that most knew there was still 6 foot on tug. I had a pic of my son the week before the flood standing next to a ten foot bank up on the hill while even Altmar had bare ground just about. I'd venture to say ice damming had a big play in that. Thank god we didn't get rain as it would've been a record breaking flood probably

Took tomorrow off to float and they blow it out! Going anyway gonna be a beautiful day.

Fan...I'd say its a decent shot for a plug bite tomorrow. Not enough of an increase to throw them off... so they may be stabilized... definitely a damper on bank anglers. Sorry to hear you're getting washed out jack.

We went up today for a day trip. We found some beautiful water in a few places around town, and saw men into fish but we had no takers.  2B got one in the LFZ, bright hen about 13-14 lbs.
 
We went by trout and there was not a huge amount of water there, but Orwell had a pretty good flow where we went over it.  As you heard from PA, it is not easy, but it can be fished.
 
I think that's a good notion, HT, I may be able to sneak away Saturday, if they drop the release for WW.  Otherwise, the Genny is dropping nicely, and there were fish there when I went in on Sunday.  Sorry I can't get away earlier to see you guys, but the job does not allow this year.
