McKenzie and Willamette Rivers Rise with Snow Melt

Warmer temperatures have caused some serious run-off on our local waters. Check out the gages shown below. Warm air is definitely what we need to improve fishing but this spike will need to flush out. We like the McKenzie at the Springfield Gage to be under 7000 cubic feet per second for the lower river to fish reasonably well. The Middle Fork is better in the 3500 cfs range.
