Lower Tuolumne River Fishing Report - March 22nd, 2026

The lower Tuolumne is currently running at 1,000cfs, which is a significant flow for this section of river. While flows have decreased substantially, this is still considered very high for this stretch. The weather this week is expected to be warmer, with highs in the lower to mid 80s throughout the week.

Fishing Conditions & Tactics

Despite the drop in flows, the river remains too high for safe and effective fishing. At 1,000 cfs, wading opportunities are extremely limited, and strong currents make accessing the river potentially hazardous.

For now, we recommend targeting other local rivers or stillwater options until flows continue to drop into a safer and more manageable range.

Overall Outlook

The lower Tuolumne is known for frequent fluctuations in flow, so this is a section worth monitoring closely. As releases continue to decrease, conditions can improve quickly. Until then, safety should remain the top priority.
