River level question

[fishingduck]

Those of you familiar with the Siuslaw. Do you think it will be low enough to fish on Monday. Some predictions are that it will be around 10-11?

I've fished it at 10 ft. and done OK, and a buddy I know hooked up at around 11 ft. Very limited fishing, only a few areas to fish at that height. If the water has cleared up a bit by then its worth a shot, but you'd probably have the best luck plunking at that height.

What Hobs said ^^. Better off plunking close to the banks if it's that high in some slower water.

I'd be there if I wasn't busy but I'd much prefer it a few feet lower.

Considering it's at 14.7, I don't see it dropping much below 12 by monday. It's doable if you're into plunking, but it's pretty ugly. I usually don't fish it until it's dropping below 9, but that's my preference because I absolutely refuse to plunk. It's a river that will run dirty for WEEKS after so you can't really go off of clarity, but it's running currently at 15,000 CFS, that's a lot of turbulence.
