According to Kenny Priest, the main stem Eel is still running big and muddy at 20,500 cfs as of Thursday. If the forecast holds, it might shape up for fishing by the first or second week of March. The South Fork is dropping faster, expected to hit 2,200 cfs at Miranda by Tuesday. Whether it’s truly fishable will depend on the slide near Confusion Hill, which was still spilling mud earlier this week.
