Lower Stanislaus River Fishing Report - April 12th, 2026

The lower Stanislaus is currently running at 1,000 cfs, which is a significant flow for this section of river. While flows have dropped from recent highs, this is still considered very high for this stretch. The weather this week is expected to be cooler, with highs in the low to mid 60s.

Fishing Conditions & Tactics

At current flows, this section is not recommended for fishing. The river remains high, with strong currents and very limited safe wading access. Conditions can be hazardous, especially for those unfamiliar with higher water. For now, anglers are better off targeting other local rivers or stillwater options until flows return to safer and more manageable levels.
