I heard that there will be a water sale of some sort here on the Merced. So, there still may be hope for some salmon action. These fish are pretty beat by the time they reach there destination. I think it's better to just leave them alone. So, I likely won't be fishing for them at all.
Higher flows can be great in a driftboat.
Current flows from Goodwin Dam are hard to obtain. Tuolumne River near La Grange Dam and below Fishes best at 250 to 600cfs for wading. 600 may be a bit much for some. This river overflows its average banks at about 750cfs. Higher flows can be great in a driftboat.
