The river is running low at 315 to 350 CFM. The CDFW recently planted the river with catchable rainbow trout. The Alpine F&G will be planting the river next week with larger rainbows. Fishing has been good for anglers using half a crawler or a salmon egg and a split shot. Special note. The tributary that comes into the west fork by Picketts Jct called Willow Creek, is open to catch and release only with artificial lures or flys only.
