Current Conditions — Is Ghost River clear to fish today?

Normal for season

Spring runoff receding — clearing possible

Flows are about normal for this time of year and have been dropping recently. The river may be starting to clear — worth watching if the trend continues.

Side channels and softer water along the banks often fish first as spring runoff recedes.
