    Yes the water is higher than a “normal” year. I haven’t look for a couple days but the flow has been just over 30k cfs. Normally we would be looking at 3 to 7k cfs.

    But that hasn’t seemed to bother the cat bit. The channels are on fire one day then the very next we can only catch a few. That’s fishing I guess.

    Unless you have a 10 hp motor, pool four is very very fishable.

    I was out there yesterday. Lake City Stage is at 10.3′ when it’s normally at 5′. Flow is at 48,000 when it’s normally around 3,000-5,000.

    Water temps are high as well (81*-82*).
