Fishing is generally best when flows are below 3,000 cfs. Currently they are at 4,200 at the Waterloo gage, a significant increase as Green Peter Reservoir is drawn down. High flows are likely to persist throughout the fall and into December. The deep drawdown will cause the river to get turbid and will likely put off all fishing until they begin to fill the reservoir up again in late December.
