Dworshak Flow Changes - FindFish - 12-17-2014
From the IF&G...
The CORP of Engineers will be doing some tests on Dworshak Dam on Dec 18 between 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM. During these tests, they will fluctuate releases between 1,600 and 5,500 cfs. This will cause water levels in the North Fork Clearwater and main Clearwater rivers to fluctuate up to 1-foot per hour. After the testing, releases from Dworshak Dam will return to a normal operation of 1,600-cfs. If you plan to fish the Clearwater or North Fork on the 18th , please be aware of these operational changes.
By the way, fishing was excellent last weekend in the Clearwater River with average catch rates of 5 hrs/fish. I suspect that after the steelhead have a chance to settle back down after these flow changes that fishing will be good - maybe even better.
