See the Wilson is figured to hit 6.5' Saturday night into Sunday. This coming week should be hot! Of course I took vacation LAST WEEK!::sad:
Coastal rivers are looking good!

That sucks (About the vacation, not the rivers). Ya, I'm hitting the Miami on Saturday morning, hopefully it's not too high..actually the Wilson is hot right now, I have a friend who caught close to a dozen nooks in there yesterday. (Or at least that's what he claimed)

At a forecast of 3.24" of Rain by Saturday night, I have a hard time believing it will crest at 6.5 on recent experiences. My prediction is between 7-8.5ft.
Good luck,

Yep..good prediction steelmonkiller. I went to the wilson a couple of times when it's been forecasted to rise a foot, and it rose 2 or 3.

The river gauges are like weathermen and their reports. By tomorrow afternoon it will be showing a different prediction.SteelmonKiller20 said:

Those predictions are horribly inaccurate. They're good for getting an idea of conditions but that's it. If 3 inches fall it'll jump to 8ft or more. Lee's Camp is notoriously wet, i bet today and tomorrow they get close to 5 inches and the river will crest around 10ft.

According to the gauge on Steelhead Stalkers site it is currently at 5.06 and set to top at 8.26 Saturday night into Sunday. FishNinja is correct about the predictions, they are just that. I always check the current reading right up till I pull out of the driveway. I have still gotten to the river and found it higher than the site said. Jeff I am going to say 8.47'.

What do you guys think of the coastal rivers tomorrow morning? Was thinking of hitting the Miami, but they rose a lot today...will they be blown out?

Sapo Save your gas! The rivers are poop brown and flowing fast. All of the coastal rivers are blown with smaller ones approachingflood stage.

Went down there early Friday morning hoping to get a few hours of fishing in before it turned unfishable. Barely a light drizzle. Water looked good so we put in and fished about 30 minutes and the water turned to chocolate almost immediately so we bailed. Checked the Kilchis and it looked just as bad so we packed it in. Going over the pass back east, it was raining quite hard in the upper elevations. Might not be fishable until mid week.

Yeah it sucked, but we had to go check it and try. Probably try again next weekend.

I just use weather.com and punch in the area you are looking for. The amount of rain they forecast is usually close, and then I take the current levels and do the math myself based off past rainfalls etc. I really don't even need to look at graphs anymore, I kind of look at them to see how accurate of a guess I have. Ha.

Pouring on the coast and north of Portland right now, but the metro area and east is pretty dry so far..I don't think we'll get as much precip as forecast, bulk of moisture tracked to our north. It'll rain, but metro area rivers won't really experience much of an impact.
