The Middle Fork of the Stanislaus near Kennedy Meadows is currently running at 515cfs, marking a significant increase in flows from last week. The weather this week is expected to remain very moderate, with temperatures holding in the mid 60s throughout the week.
With the first stretch of warmer weather arriving, snowmelt has significantly increased flows across the region, pushing the Middle Fork well beyond ideal fishing conditions. At these levels, the river will be moving swiftly, limiting both safe access and effective fishing opportunities.
Rather than targeting the main river, this is a great time to explore some of the smaller tributaries feeding both the Middle Fork and the Clark Fork, where flows may remain more manageable and fishable.
For the time being, we would recommend giving both the Middle Fork and Clark Fork plenty of space until flows begin to stabilize and drop back into a more fishable range.
As always during runoff conditions, use extra caution around moving water and keep an eye on changing flows throughout the week.
