Right now, in our area, one would need downrigger balls. Most of the bigger waters are over the official flood stage and will be higher by the end of the day. As an example, the Little J, although not an opening day type of water (it is open year round) typically fishes well at less than 3 feet gage height and under 300 cfs. It is currently at 10.55 feet and 9,750 cfs.
It might take most of a dry April to become fishable again.
The small stream on our property is typically 2-3 feet deep in one of the primary pools. I can now actually see the water rushing by from my kitchen window, 250 yards away. This means it climbed out of the 5 foot high bank on top of the normal flow.
For those going, even if not extreme water conditions, please be careful. The water is cold (it was 49 on our creek on Sunday) and one slip could be trouble.
