According to Kenny Priest, the Mad River is currently high and off-color, sitting just under 10 feet as of Thursday. With the dry weather holding, the river is expected to drop and should be fishable by mid-next week. Kenny mentions that quite a few fish are making their way back to the hatchery, including some nearing 20 pounds. He also notes the river tends to fish best when it’s between 7 and 8 feet.
