The main stem Eel isn’t ready yet—still running high and off color after spiking to over 56k cfs at Scotia earlier this week, according to Kenny Priest of Fishing the North Coast. Even with dry weather, it’s likely more than a week out from fishing well, and with more rain on the way, that timeline’s probably getting pushed. It’ll take a solid break in storms before it’s worth a look. Please note... only artificial lures with barbless hooks can be used from now through Sept. 30.
